# Migration & Movement — North Shore

How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.

Area: North Shore (State Electorate)

More than half of the residents in North Shore have moved house recently, making it a highly mobile area. This trend is driven by a mix of local relocation and a strong pull for people arriving from overseas.

A striking 52.1% of people here moved in the last five years, which is far above the national figure of 40.7%. This proportion has risen by 8.4 points since 2011, placing North Shore among the most mobile areas of its kind.

Recent arrivals from overseas make up 18.2% of the population, which is well above the New South Wales figure of 14.9%. This is much higher than most other areas, though the figure has fallen slightly by 0.9 points since 2011.
