# Migration & Movement — Gawler

How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.

Area: Gawler (Council (LGA))

A massive gap exists between Gawler and the rest of the country when it comes to overseas arrivals. While 40.2% of residents moved here in the last five years, only 3.7% of the population arrived from overseas recently. This shows a community that is growing quickly, but mostly through people moving from within Australia.

About 40.2% of people moved into Gawler in the last five years, which is much higher than most areas. This figure is well above the South Australian average of 36.9% and has risen slightly since 2011.

Recent overseas arrivals make up just 3.7% of the population, a figure far below both the state and national averages of around 15%. This proportion has fallen by 2.1 percentage points since 2011.
