Mount Elphinstone Orana

Orana and Mount Elphinstone are neighbouring areas in Albany with very different profiles. Orana is a larger community where the typical resident is 38, and it has a high share of children under 15 at 19.1%. It is a more walkable area (somewhat walkable) with many more renters (38%) and a higher proportion of one-parent families (25.8%). In contrast, Mount Elphinstone is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident of 50. Housing there is dominated by outright ownership (64.7%) and large detached houses, with nearly all homes having three or more bedrooms.

Everyday life shares some common ground, as both areas have a similar typical weekly rent of around $280 and nearly identical shares of people born overseas. They also show a similar lack of religious affiliation, with over half the population in both areas reporting no religion. While Orana is far more connected to schools and shops, Mount Elphinstone has a far higher share of people doing unpaid housework (42%) and a much higher proportion of homes owned outright.
