Migration & Movement in Walloon
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A far higher proportion of people have moved into Walloon recently compared to the rest of the country. Over half of all residents arrived within the last five years, reflecting a significant increase in people relocating to the area. This high turnover contrasts with a very low number of recent overseas arrivals.
