The suburbs where the most people moved from, according to the census | swrighteconomy
Australians fled Sydney and Melbourne to escape the harsh reality of COVID lockdowns but most drew the line at departing their home state as they sought out a safe place to ride out the pandemic.
Just over 79 per cent of residents, or 19.9 million people, lived at the same address as a year earlier. There were 55,130 Australian-born people who moved back from overseas, a sharp fall on previous censuses due to the effective shutdown of the international border. The biggest hit was to Sydney’s inner south-west, covering the area from Botany Bay to Bankstown, where a net 13,249 people moved out during the preceding 12 months.
In a sign some people wanted out of Sydney and Melbourne, regional parts of NSW and Victoria experienced a lift in local residents. The Newcastle and mid north coast of NSW and the regional centre of Geelong added thousands of people over the 12-month period. In Victoria, almost 58 per cent of residents at the 2021 census were living in the same place they were five years earlier. At the 2011 census, it was more than 60 per cent.
