Migration & Movement in West End
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Almost 70% of West End residents have moved house since 2016, making it one of the most mobile areas in the region. This high turnover is driven by both domestic moves and a very strong flow of people arriving from overseas.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Nearly 70% of people here moved in the last five years, which is far above the Queensland figure of 44.8% and the national average of 40.7%. This tendency to move has risen by 9.3 percentage points since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 27.1% of the population, a figure far above the 14.5% seen across Australia. While this remains among the highest rates for similar areas, it has fallen by 9.8 percentage points since 2011.
