June quarter in 2014.
Compared to the statistical data last year, the population in Victoria

this general population in the state lives around the south, mostly in the
capital city of Melbourne.
Even with the smallest geographic area of 227,416 sq. km, or about
the size of Britain, Victoria remains a top choice for people to live in. The
place is a hotspot even for migrants. Reports say that migrants from more
than 200 countries move into the state. About a quarter of the population
was born abroad.
