# Migration & Movement — The Rocks

How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.

Area: The Rocks (Suburb / Locality)

More than half of the people in The Rocks have moved into the area in the last five years, a figure far above the national average. This high turnover is driven by both domestic movement and a strong influx of people arriving from overseas.

About 56.4% of residents moved here in the last five years. This is among the highest rates for similar areas and is 16 percentage points higher than both the New South Wales and Australian figures.

Overseas arrivals make up 20.1% of the population, which is much higher than most areas. This is well above the national figure of 14.5%.
