Mildura
22,082 km²
A larger First Nations population than 81% of similar areas makes Mildura a distinct regional hub in Victoria. This community is marked by a young and growing population, though many residents face significant hurdles with employment and education. It serves as a major centre for the surrounding region, blending a regional service hub with a sprawling residential layout. The area is largely flat, which helps those moving around on foot, even as many homes sit far from essential services.
