Alberton Port Albert

Port Albert and Alberton (Vic.) are neighbouring areas in Victoria with distinct differences in age and accessibility. Port Albert has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 59 compared to 51 in Alberton (Vic.). This is reflected in the age of First Nations residents, who are far older in Port Albert (typical age 53) than in Alberton (Vic.) (typical age 12). While Port Albert has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park (82.8% vs 15.9%), Alberton (Vic.) is much better connected to transport and education, with 61.2% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 64% within a 15-minute walk of a school.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, from typical weekly household incomes (around $970) to the small share of people who use another language at home (2.7%). Both areas also have very low rates of public transport use for commuting. However, a gap is widening in the age of residents, as those in Port Albert are now far older than those in Alberton (Vic.).
