Alberton Yarram

Yarram and Alberton (Vic.) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Yarram is more walkable and offers more amenities within a 15-minute walk, including health services which are completely absent in Alberton (Vic.). It also has a much higher share of people living alone (38.7%) and those needing help with daily activities (10.5%). In contrast, Alberton (Vic.) is mostly car-dependent, with a higher proportion of separate houses (95.9%) and more families with children under 15 (17.5%).

While their physical setups differ, the gap in typical weekly household incomes is small, with Yarram at $889 and Alberton (Vic.) at $956. This similarity extends to their school sizes and the share of people using another language at home. However, the two areas are drifting apart in their social makeup; the gap in the number of people living alone has widened, with Yarram now far higher than Alberton (Vic.).
