Migration & Movement in Wellington
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Very little has changed in the way people move in and out of Wellington since 2011. The area is less mobile than most of the country, with only 9.5% of residents arriving from overseas recently. This reflects a stable population that is much less likely to relocate than people in other parts of Victoria.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 35.2% of people moved house in the last five years, which is well below the Victorian figure of 40.0% and the national rate of 40.7%. This level of movement has barely changed since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 9.5% of the population, a figure that has fallen slightly since 2011. This is well below the 14.5% seen across Australia and is much lower than most other areas.
