Wangaratta Wangaratta Surrounds

Wangaratta and Wangaratta Surrounds are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Wangaratta is a very walkable hub where 72% of homes have easy access to local amenities, while Wangaratta Surrounds is car-dependent with only 16.4% of homes in a similar walkable zone. This difference is seen in the housing and family types; Wangaratta has far more people living alone (34.5%) and one-parent families (18.3%), and a much higher rental rate of 27.8%. In contrast, Wangaratta Surrounds has a higher share of homes owned outright (49.5%) and more people working from home (18.8%).

The gap in rental rates has widened since 2011, as has the difference in home ownership and the number of one-parent families. Despite these shifts, the two areas share a similar typical weekly personal income and a nearly identical percentage of children under 15. They also have roughly the same number of businesses and a very similar share of residents who speak little or no English.
