Glenroy South Albury

Glenroy (Albury - NSW) and South Albury are neighbouring areas with very different housing and living patterns. Glenroy is dominated by larger separate houses, with 88% being detached and 82.9% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, South Albury is more compact and very walkable, with a much higher share of renters (56.8%) and people living alone (52%). There are also stark differences for First Nations residents; those in Glenroy have far higher typical personal incomes ($725 compared to $410) and higher Year 12 completion rates (41.4% versus 13.6%).

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, as typical weekly personal incomes are nearly the same at around $760 to $770. Both areas also have similar proportions of adults with a university degree and very few people who speak little or no English. While Glenroy is more car-dependent, South Albury has a far higher share of homes without a motor vehicle (21.7%) and a very walkable score of 8.0. This accessibility is a key contrast to Glenroy, where the walk to the nearest transport stop is far higher at 25 minutes.
