Migration & Movement in Capella
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A massive surge in overseas arrivals has transformed Capella since 2011. While 34% of residents now arrive from abroad, the area has also seen a rise in people moving from other parts of Australia. This makes the town far more mobile than most similar areas.
