Kensington · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Migration & Movement in Kensington
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Nearly half of all residents in Kensington have moved house in the last five years. This high turnover makes the area much more mobile than most other parts of the country. While the neighbourhood attracts many new arrivals, the proportion of people moving in from overseas has dropped since 2011.
