Melbourne has become Australia's most populous city, overtaking Sydney for the first time since the 19th century.
The latest government figures put the population of Melbourne at 4,875,400. This is 18,700 more than in Sydney.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) defines a city's significant urban area as including all connecting suburbs with more than 10,000 people.
At the 2021 census, the population of Sydney was higher than that of Melbourne.
Melbourne, which has been growing rapidly outpacing Sydney due to multiple patterns of migration, was ranked as Australia’s most liveable city and 10th in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Index for 2022.
The federal government of Australia estimates that Greater Melbourne will overtake Greater Sydney in 2031–32.
