Migration & Movement in Fairfield
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Migration patterns in Fairfield have remained remarkably steady since 2011. While 14.6% of the population arrived from overseas recently, the area sees far fewer people moving house than most other parts of the country. This creates a stable environment where few residents have changed their address in the last five years.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Only 32.8% of people moved home in the last five years, which is much lower than most areas. This figure is well below the national average of 40.7% and has barely changed since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 14.6% of the population, a figure higher than most areas. This proportion is about the same as both the New South Wales and Australian figures.
