Echuca - Moama Wangaratta

Echuca - Moama and Wangaratta are two Victorian regional centres with very different layouts. Wangaratta is very walkable, with 72% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more residents within walking distance of schools, groceries, and health services. In contrast, Echuca - Moama is only somewhat walkable, and far fewer of its residents can reach these essential services on foot. Education levels also differ, with Year 12 completion well higher in Wangaratta at 43.2% compared to 38.8% in Echuca - Moama.

Since 2011, the two areas have shifted closer together in several ways. The gaps in typical age and the share of people born overseas have both narrowed, and the age difference is now just two years. Despite these shifts, some gaps have grown, such as the number of people living alone, which is now well higher in Wangaratta. The two areas remain very similar in other ways, including the typical weekly personal income of around $705 to $708 and the high share of separate houses in both places.
