Migration & Movement in Stafford
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
Nearly half of all residents in Stafford have moved house recently, a figure well above the national average. This high level of turnover is combined with a strong presence of new arrivals from overseas, making the area more mobile than most other places in Australia.

People who moved in the last five years.
About 47.5% of people here moved in the last five years, which is much higher than most areas. This is a little above the Queensland figure and well above the national rate of 40.7%, though the trend has barely changed since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
