Migration & Movement in Solomon
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Almost half of all residents in Solomon have moved house recently, making it a very transient place. This high turnover is partly driven by a strong international draw, as the area attracts far more overseas arrivals than the national average.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Nearly half of the population (49.7%) moved in the last five years, which is much higher than most areas. This figure is well above both the Northern Territory (42.0%) and Australia (40.7%), though it fell slightly from 52.5% in 2016.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent arrivals from overseas make up 21.2% of the population, a figure well above the national average of 14.5%. While this is about the same as the rest of the Territory, it has fallen from 27.9% back in 2011.
