Migration & Movement in Cook
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Over one in five people in Cook arrived from overseas recently, which is a much higher proportion than most other areas. While the region has seen a big jump in overseas arrivals since 2011, fewer people are moving between Australian homes compared to the state and national figures.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 36.3% of residents moved house in the last five years. This is well below the figures for Queensland and Australia, though the number has risen slightly since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 21.7% of the population, a figure that is well above both the state and national averages. This proportion has grown significantly from 12.5% in 2011.
