Migration & Movement in Buxton
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Stability is a key feature of Buxton, where people are far less likely to move home than in other parts of the country. Very few new residents have arrived from overseas recently, and a smaller share of the population has changed addresses in the last five years compared to the state and national figures.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Around 31.4% of people moved home in the last five years, which is about average for similar areas. This is well below the New South Wales figure of 39.9% and the national figure of 40.7%.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Overseas arrivals are uncommon here, with only 4.3% of residents arriving from another country recently. This is far below both the state (14.9%) and national (14.5%) rates.
