About Dallas
Dallas is a working-class suburb in Melbourne's northern corridor, located approximately 18 kilometres north of the Melbourne CBD within the City of Hume. With a population of 6,762 and a young median age of 32, the suburb is one of Melbourne's most culturally diverse communities — the majority of residents were born overseas, primarily from Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and Pakistan. The median household income of around $1,088 per week sits below the metropolitan average, reflecting the suburb's affordable, working-class character.
Dallas has a strong multicultural identity, with a significant Muslim community and a rich blend of Turkish, Lebanese, and South Asian cultures shaping local life. Part of the broader Broadmeadows area, the suburb benefits from access to Broadmeadows railway station and local schools, along with amenities along the Pascoe Vale Road corridor. A median rent of $323 per week makes Dallas one of Melbourne's more affordable northern options, appealing to newly arrived families and long-established multicultural communities alike.
