Greater Dandenong is also one of the most culturally diverse cities in Australia, with 46% of residents born overseas, representing over 126 different countries. This is paralleled by above average unemployment (12% in March 1995). The urban environment features attractive residential areas, excellent industrial precincts and several creative shopping centre upgrades - notably Dandenong Plaza.
