Transport & Vehicles in Loddon
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Far fewer homes go without a car in Loddon than in most similar areas. This reliance on private vehicles is reflected in the way people travel, with the vast majority of residents driving or working from home. While the area has a high number of transport stops, actual service frequency is very low.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Only 3.4% of homes have no motor vehicle, a figure that is well below both the Victorian (7.6%) and national (7.4%) figures. This is a downward trend, as the share of carless homes fell 2.4 percentage points since 2011.
