Migration & Movement in Hobart
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Nearly half of all residents in Hobart have moved house in the last five years. This high level of mobility is driven by both local shifts and a strong draw for people moving from overseas.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 45.4% of people here moved in the last five years, a figure that is well above the state average of 37.4% and the national figure of 40.7%. This rate of movement has risen by 1.7 percentage points since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 24.2% of the population, which is well above the 14.5% seen across Australia. While this is much higher than most areas, the proportion has fallen by 3.3 percentage points since 2011.
