Melbourne: A City Bursting at the Seams (Figuratively, Mostly)
The last official count, way back in the before times (2021 census, to be precise), clocked Melbourne's population at over 5 million. That's a hefty chunk of humanity, folks! We're talking more people than you could fit in 75 MCGs (though that would be one heck of a crowded footy match).
Fun Fact: That also means Melbourne is home to roughly 19% of the entire Australian population. That's a lot of shrimp on the barbie, or so I've heard.
So, Where Does Everyone Live?
Melbourne isn't all city slickers and skyscrapers (though we have a fair share of those too). The Greater Melbourne sprawl stretches far and wide, with most Melburnians residing in the eastern suburbs.
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
Insider Tip: If you ever get lost in Melbourne (don't worry, it happens to the best of us), just head east and you're bound to bump into civilisation eventually.
But Wait, There's More!
Melbourne's a city that thrives on diversity. Our multicultural population is one of our greatest strengths, with folks hailing from all corners of the globe calling Melbourne home. This constant influx of new residents helps keep our city vibrant and exciting.
Fun Fact #2: Melbourne even boasts the 10th largest immigrant population among world metropolitan areas. Now that's something to celebrate!
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
