Migration & Movement in Virginia
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A shifting population defines daily life in Virginia, where over 40% of residents have moved house in the last five years. This creates a transient feel to the area, though a smaller proportion of people have arrived from overseas compared to the rest of the state.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 41.4% of people moved here in the last five years, which is much higher than most similar areas. This figure is about the same as the national average, though it is well below the Queensland rate of 44.8%.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent arrivals from overseas make up 8.7% of the population. This is around the middle for its level, but is well below both the Queensland figure of 13.7% and the Australian average of 14.5%.
