Migration & Movement in Penguin
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A gap of over 10 percentage points separates the proportion of overseas arrivals in Penguin from the Tasmanian average. While nearly 40% of residents have moved into the area recently, the town remains much less diverse in its origins than the state or nation.

About 38.2% of people moved here in the last five years, a figure that is higher than most similar areas. This is roughly the same as the Tasmanian average and has risen slightly since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent arrivals from overseas make up 7.4% of the population, which is far below the state figure. This is also well below the national average, though the proportion has risen since 2011.
