Census: younger Australians more likely to make a move Younger Australians are the most likely to be on the move with one-third having lived at a different address in the year before Census night, latest insights reveal. The new 2016 Census of Population and Housing data also recorded Queensland as the top destination for people moving from other states and territories. Census Program Manger Bindi Kindermann said the latest information told an interesting story of which Australians were most likely to move house and to where. “One-third of people aged between 20 and 29 in the Census and almost a quarter of those aged between 30 and 39 lived at a different address in 2016 than in 2015,” Ms Kindermann said. Census data recorded that 83.3 per cent of Australians lived at the same address a year earlier, meaning 16.7 per cent had moved. These figures are similar to the 2011 Census when 84.1 per cent lived at the same address the previous year, while 15.9 per cent had moved. “When it comes to where people are moving, there are some clear favourites,” Ms Kindermann said. “Queensland saw the highest number of interstate arrivals over the past five years with 220,000 people moving there. “The sunshine state was the most common destination for people leaving New South Wales and the Northern Territory, while people leaving South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania most commonly moved to Victoria. “In the year leading up to 2016 Census night, New South Wales and Victoria had the highest migration from overseas – key factors in the population growth in these states. “Not only is it interesting to see where our fellow Australians are moving to and from, it is also really important information when it comes to planning for infrastructure and communities.” Census data is available free online.
