Migration & Movement in Queanbeyan
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Almost half of all residents in Queanbeyan have moved house in the last five years. This high level of movement is driven by both local shifts and a strong influx of people from abroad, making it a much more mobile community than most other areas in the country.
