Push Factors
- Melbourne is one of the most crowded cities in Australia with its population density being 25 people per square kilometer
- It is also a quite loud city at night, so in central suburbs it can get noisy at night
- Melbourne's city centre has lots of traffic as almost 50% of people drive cars as their choice of transport
- Whilst the cost of buying an apartment isn't to pricey, renting one can be very expensive (from $300 to $700 per week)
- Due to the combined impacts of population growth, drought and climate change, Melbourne has fallen under some water issues with people using too much water from their main water sources; the Yarra River and the Thomson River
