What the data indicates about Mildura
INDIVIDUALS ISOLATED BY LANGUAGE
Language can be one barrier to effective engagement with the wider community. The proportion of Mildura Central residents who could be impeded by lack of facility with spoken English is four times that of Regional Victoria. Similar difficulties might be facing 12% of the residents of Irymple and 11% of those living at Red Cliffs. These are levels of communication restriction that are comparable to those applying in Melbourne.
