2) Most common overseas country of birth

- India is the largest overseas birthplace among Brookfield residents (about 7.5% of residents born in India).

- Public‑transport journey estimates to Flinders Street vary by connections; common trip times reported are around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes door‑to‑door (bus + train connections) depending on timetable. citation:Brookfield to Flinders Street Station - Rome2rio

- (Substitution: no Brookfield train station → used bus/train combination as realistic option.)
