How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
More than one in five people in 500 or more arrived from overseas recently, which is well above the national figure. This reflects a population that is far more mobile internationally than locally, as few residents have changed homes within Australia lately.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
Only 26.9% of people moved house in the last five years, a figure that is far below the Australian average of 40.7% and much lower than most similar areas.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 20.2% of the population, which is well above the national figure of 14.5%. This is much higher than most similar areas, though the proportion fell by 8.9 points since 2011.
