Migration & Movement in Gladstone
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Nearly half of all residents in Gladstone 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 people are frequently moving in, the number of recent overseas arrivals has dropped sharply since the last census.

About 48.9% of people here moved home in the last five years, which is much higher than most areas. This figure is well above the Queensland rate of 44.8% and the national figure of 40.7%, though it fell slightly from 49.9% in 2016.
Arrivals from overseas
