Greater Hume Shire Wodonga

Wodonga and Greater Hume Shire are two different types of regional hubs located about 55 km apart. Wodonga is more urban and mobile, with a typical resident aged 38 and a walkability score that is somewhat walkable. It has a much higher share of renters at 32.6% and is far more likely to have people with no religion (44.5%). In contrast, Greater Hume Shire is more rural and car-dependent, with an older typical resident aged 44. Homes there are far more likely to be owned outright (43.0%), and a much larger share of the workforce works in agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Both areas are very similar in their demographic makeup, with the same 3.4% share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. They also have nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and very similar typical household incomes. While the gap in home ownership has narrowed since 2011, the difference in religious affiliation has widened, with Wodonga becoming far more likely to have residents with no religion compared to Greater Hume Shire.
