Migration & Movement in Wellington
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Fewer than 10% of residents in Wellington arrived from overseas recently, marking this as an area with low international migration. This trend is mirrored in domestic movement, as fewer people have moved into the region compared to state and national figures.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 35.1% of people moved house in the last five years. This is well below the 40% seen across Victoria and the national figure of 40.7%, though the rate has barely changed since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent arrivals from overseas make up 9.5% of the population, which is lower than most areas. This is well below the figures for Victoria (15.6%) and Australia (14.5%), and the proportion has fallen since 2011.
