Migration & Movement in Burwood
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Nearly 60% of Burwood residents have moved house recently, making it one of the most mobile areas in the region. This high turnover is driven by a massive influx of people from overseas, with a third of the population arriving from abroad in the last five years.
Moving home
