Place Forecast Concept
Demographic Concept
In-migration is the number of people who move into an area each year. It covers people from abroad and from other parts of the country. This page shows total in-migration over time and a split by age and sex.
Estimated figures come from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
In projected years, in-migration is set using dwelling-based target scaling and an in-migration age profile.
In-migration is one of the four parts of how the population changes. Along with births, it adds people to the area. The gap between people moving in and people moving out is net migration. Net migration is often the main driver of local growth or decline.
