Victoria has been dubbed the second-strongest state for housing finance and has come in at third place for population growth according to April's State of the States report from CommBank.

"Victoria's population is 1.95 per cent higher than a year ago and this growth rate is 19.2 per cent higher than the 'normal' or decade-average level," the report noted.
