Migration & Movement in Lakemba
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Over five times as many people in Lakemba are recent arrivals from overseas compared to the national average. This makes it a highly mobile area, with 42% of residents having moved house in the last five years. While these figures remain high, both the rate of moving and the number of new arrivals have fallen since 2016.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
A little more than four in ten people (42%) moved home in the last five years. This is slightly above the figures for New South Wales and Australia, though it is a 2.9 percentage point drop from 2016.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 21.4% of the population, which is well above the national figure of 14.5%. This is much higher than most other areas, despite falling from 30.1% five years ago.
