Published by the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works Planning Branch under the Information Management Research imprint, this authoritative reference compiles comparative figures drawn from census data, housing records, population surveys, and economic indicators — delivering a granular, cross-sectional view of urban life in 1980s Melbourne. As a fourth edition, this volume reflects years of iterative refinement, building upon its predecessors to offer increasingly precise and comprehensive statistical benchmarks for planners, researchers, policymakers, and historians alike. Its structured methodology and comparative framework make it an indispensable tool for understanding the regional disparities and growth patterns that shaped modern Melbourne — leaving the reader to wonder just how dramatically the city's statistical story has shifted in the decades since.
