Migration & Movement in Broken Hill
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A stark gap exists between the low number of internal movers and the high proportion of overseas arrivals in Broken Hill. While far fewer people have moved into the area recently compared to the rest of the country, over 20% of the population arrived from overseas in the last five years.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Only 28.6% of residents moved home in the last five years, which is far below the national figure of 40.7%. This is much lower than most areas, though the figure has risen slightly since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 20.5% of the population, a figure well above the New South Wales average of 14.9%. This proportion has grown since 2011 and is much higher than in most other similar areas.
