Migration & Movement in Kilkenny
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Nearly one in five people in Kilkenny arrived from overseas recently, making it much more welcoming to new migrants than most other areas. This high level of international arrival helps explain why the neighbourhood sees a constant flow of new residents.

Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
