Migration & Movement in Baw Baw
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
More than four in ten people in Baw Baw have changed addresses recently, making it a dynamic area for new residents. This high level of movement is paired with a relatively small number of people arriving from overseas, meaning most newcomers are moving from other parts of Australia.
