Loddon council area, Victoria. About 7,718 people lived here in 2025. Here's what rent, power, the pokies and crime look like, and how each one sits against the rest of Victoria.

Rent

Victoria doesn't publish new-lease rents by council in a form we can use yet.

Pokies losses

The regulator reports this area with its neighbours, or kept some months private, so there's no figure for Loddon on its own.

Electricity

$1,633

A year on the default offer in the Powercor network area, for 4,000 kWh. That's the most a standing offer can cost. A typical plan here costs $1,518.

This is crime that police recorded in the area over a year, July to June. Lots of crime is never reported, and a rise can mean police are looking harder, not just that more crime happened. Each state counts crime its own way, so only compare a council with its own state. Victoria rounds very small numbers of homicide and sexual offences.
