Migration & Movement in Tamworth
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A huge increase in overseas arrivals has changed the face of Tamworth since 2011. Over a quarter of the population now consists of recent arrivals from abroad, a figure that has climbed 15 percentage points in a decade. This shift makes the area stand out far above both the state and national figures.
