Albanvale Cairnlea

Cairnlea and Albanvale are neighbouring areas in Melbourne's west with very different economic profiles. Cairnlea has a more qualified workforce, with 23.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree compared to 12.9% in Albanvale. This is reflected in household pay, where the typical weekly income in Cairnlea is $2,062, far higher than the $1,279 seen in Albanvale. Cairnlea also has a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (96.1%) compared to Albanvale (44.6%).

Both areas share similar family structures, such as having about 19% of their population as children under 15, and both have very high rates of people using a language other than English at home. However, the gap in access to services is widening in some ways; for example, Cairnlea now has a far higher share of homes with a 15-minute-city walkshed (96.0%) than Albanvale (67.7%). While both are well above the national figure for language diversity, Albanvale has a higher share of people who speak little or no English.
