Notes
  1. ↑ Due to increased residential development in Officer, which previously provided a non-urban buffer between Pakenham and the rest of the Melbourne metropolitan area, Pakenham began to be counted as part of the greater Melbourne urban centre starting from the 2016 census.
  2. ↑ This figure is for Torquay only.
  3. ↑ This figure is for Moe - Yallourn.
  4. 1 2 This figure is the sum of the populations of Portarlington, Indented Head and St Leonards, which were treated as three neighbouring but distinct urban centres prior to the 2016 census.
