Migration & Movement in Texas
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A shifting population trend has seen Texas (L) become less mobile since 2011, though it now attracts more people from abroad. While fewer locals are moving house, recent overseas arrivals make up a much higher share of the population than in most similar areas.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 38% of people moved home in the last five years, which is higher than most similar areas. This is a little below the national figure of 40.7% and well below Queensland's 44.8%, with the rate falling by 13 points since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent arrivals from overseas make up 17.3% of the population, a figure well above the Queensland average of 13.7%. This is much higher than most similar areas and has risen slightly since 2011.
