# Migration & Movement — Swansea

How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.

Area: Swansea (Urban Centre)

More people have moved into Swansea compared to most similar areas, with 37.7% changing homes in the last five years. This movement is partly driven by a rise in international arrivals, who now make up a much larger share of the local population than in most similar places.

About 37.7% of residents moved house in the last five years, which is a little below the Australian figure of 40.7%. This proportion has risen by 2.6 percentage points since 2011.

Recent arrivals from overseas make up 12.1% of the population, which is much higher than in most similar areas. This figure is well below the Tasmanian average of 17.7% but has risen since 2011.
