Suburb profile

Cocoroc is a regional town in Victoria, in Wyndham Council. It is primarily residential, without a particularly distinct commercial centre or landmark identity.

Reported crime is exceptionally low against comparable places. Reported offences have risen 30% year on year, and recorded road crashes are a relative strength, with recorded road crashes 97% below the peer median, and population growth is an exceptional strength, placing it among the highest-ranked regional towns, and heritage listings are a relative strength, with heritage listings 100% above the peer median. The clearer weaknesses are higher rents and weaker employment, with median rents 9% above the peer median.

Cocoroc's appeal is better explained by housing, access and location than by a strong standalone precinct or destination.
