Albany Torndirrup

Torndirrup and Albany are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Torndirrup is much younger, with a typical resident aged 35 compared to 55 in Albany, and has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 35.2%. In contrast, Albany has a much higher share of seniors (32.9%) and people with bachelor degrees (33.0%), while only 4.2% of adults in Torndirrup hold a degree. Living patterns also differ sharply, as Albany has many more people living alone (37.3%) and a much higher rate of recent overseas arrivals (16.4%).

Despite these contrasts, the two areas are very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,312 and $1,363. This shared economic baseline exists alongside a stark divide in accessibility; Albany is a walker's paradise, while Torndirrup is car-dependent. While Torndirrup's typical monthly home-loan payment is far higher at $2,734, Albany is far more likely to have residents who volunteer (23.6%) or work or look for work (54.3%).
