Migration & Movement in Newtown
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
More than half of the people living in Newtown have moved house in the last five years, making it one of the most transient areas in the region. This high turnover is driven by a mix of local mobility and a massive surge in people arriving from overseas.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
A striking 56.4% of residents moved here within the last five years, a figure far above the national average of 40.7%. This trend has accelerated sharply, rising 21 percentage points since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 24.3% of the population, which is well above the New South Wales figure of 14.9%. The number of new arrivals has jumped significantly from just 5.7% in 2011.
