Migration & Movement in Ashfield
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Constant change is a key part of life in Ashfield, where more than half the residents have moved house recently. This creates a highly mobile population that is much more transient than the state or national average.

People who moved in the last five years.
Over 51% of people have moved in the last five years, a figure that is far above the 39.9% seen across New South Wales.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
