Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
People are less likely to move here than in most other areas. The 35.6% who moved in the last five years is well below the national figure of 40.7%, though this proportion has risen slightly since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Overseas arrivals are much less common here than in similar areas. Only 6.1% of the population arrived from another country recently, a figure that is well below the Australian average of 14.5% and has barely changed over the last decade.
