Migration & Movement in Bass
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Nearly one in five people in Bass have arrived from overseas recently, making it a noticeably diverse area. This high level of international arrival helps shape the local community's mix of people and backgrounds. While global arrivals are high, the number of people moving house within Australia is about the same as the state average.
