Echuca Echuca West

Echuca and Echuca West are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and populations. Echuca is a much larger hub where 28.1% of households rent and 30.3% of people live alone, compared to only 7.1% renting and 14.9% living alone in Echuca West. The two areas differ sharply in accessibility; Echuca is somewhat walkable with many residents within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries, while Echuca West is car-dependent. There are also notable social gaps, with 16.9% of Echuca families being one-parent homes compared to 4.6% in Echuca West, and First Nations household income far higher in Echuca West at $2,250 against $1,066 in Echuca.

Both areas share a similar typical weekly income of around $710 to $748 and almost identical rates of unemployment. They are also alike in that very few people use public transport to commute. While they share these commonalities, the gap in home ownership is stark, as Echuca West has a much higher share of mortgages and detached houses. This contrast is consistent with the difference in housing types, as 96.5% of homes in Echuca West have three or more bedrooms compared to 77.7% in Echuca.
