Alpine Wodonga

Wodonga and Alpine are two different kinds of Victorian hubs. Wodonga is a larger centre with more full-time workers (60.6%) and a younger population, where the typical resident is 38. Alpine is much more elderly, with a typical age of 49, and far more people own their homes outright (46.3% compared to 29.1% in Wodonga). Wodonga also has much larger schools and more public transport options, while Alpine has significantly more schools per child.

Renting is becoming a bigger divide between the two, as the gap in households renting has widened since 2011 to 13.5%. Despite this, the areas are very similar in other ways. They share the same proportion of people using another language at home (6.9%) and have almost identical typical monthly mortgage payments. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
