Suburb profile

Tralee is a rural locality in New South Wales, in Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council.

Employment is a very strong feature of the suburb, with employment 75% above the peer median. Green cover is a relative strength, placing it among the highest-ranked rural localities, and population growth is an exceptional strength, and recorded road-crash rates are lower than in comparable places, with recorded road crashes 100% below the peer median. Trade-offs centre on higher housing costs and weaker public transport, with median house prices 38% above the peer median.
