Transport & Vehicles in Loddon
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Very few homes go without a car in Loddon, making it one of the most vehicle-dependent areas in the region. While there are more transport stops per person than in most similar areas, the actual number of services is very low. This makes private vehicles essential for almost everyone living here.

Only 3.1% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is well below the Victorian figure of 7.6%. Most households rely on multiple cars, with 34.5% owning two and another 34.3% owning three or more.
