Migration & Movement in Hay
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A surprisingly high number of overseas arrivals shapes the changing face of Hay. While few locals move house, about 22.3% of the population arrived from another country in the five years before the 2021 Census.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Fewer people change homes here than in most other areas. Only 28.2% of residents moved in the last five years, which is far below the national figure of 40.7% and has barely changed since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
The area attracts a much higher share of overseas arrivals than most similar places. At 22.3%, this is well above the New South Wales figure of 14.9%, though it has fallen slightly since 2011.
