Average rent in Albany, WA — 2026

Albany comes in cheaper than most of Western Australia — the typical renter pays $300/week, around 11% below the state median of $337/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 62% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 33% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (85%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 14,828, median age 49, and the most common occupation category is Professionals. 21% of residents were born overseas. At 389km from Perth, Albany typically sits outside the inner-ring rent pressure zone — but state rent indices since 2021 have moved a lot, so the live figure above is a better current guide than the Census baseline.
