The demographics for Melbourne are almost half-and-half between Humans and Naturali.

About 65% of the town's population have jobs or their own business. 33% of the Naturali species living in the town consists of the Erant-Lupus community, with 28% being Human, 15% Witches, 8% other Erant species, 10% hybrids, 3% Faeries, 2% Lamia, and 1% Pixies.
Government
As an established community where Humans and Naturali coexist, the laws of this place are vastly different from any regular town. From a young age, all children are taught Naturali history along with learning about the species, their customs, influential people, and laws (or laws). All of those who turn sixteen, including Humans, legally become adults and from then on must abide by both Naturali laws and Human laws, while also adhering to the normal laws outside the town of Melbourne. Naturali laws and Human law have been combined to best adhere to fair trials by a jury of peers. The current police chief of Melbourne is a man named Emmett Johnson, husband to renowned Naturali medical specialist, Marie Johnson.
