Mildura Development Corporation Chairman, Dane Huxley, said “While it’s encouraging to note increased family and household incomes over the past 10 years, it is a concern to us the median age is rising, reflective of the aging population which is occurring not only in our region, but across the country”.
Mildura Development Corporation’s fact sheets will be updated to reflect the new data, and will be available from the MDC office and website next week.
* Place of Enumeration is the place at which the person is counted i.e. where he/she spent Census Night, which may not be where he/she usually lives.
