Migration & Movement in Barwon
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A striking gap exists in Barwon, where overseas arrivals are much more common than across the state, yet very few people move house. Nearly 20% of the population arrived from another country recently, making the area far more welcoming to newcomers from abroad than the national average.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Only 27.8% of people have moved home in the last five years, a figure far below the New South Wales rate of 39.9%. This level of movement is among the lowest for similar areas and has fallen since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 19.7% of the population, which is well above the national figure of 14.5%. This proportion has risen slightly from 18.1% in 2011.
