Migration & Movement in Maylands
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Over half of the people in Maylands have moved house in the last five years, making it a highly transient place to live. This constant churn of residents is driven by both local relocations and a significant number of people arriving from overseas.
