The trend of Australians moving from cities to the regions continues to grow beyond pre-pandemic levels and is becoming a 'sustained population trend', according to the Regional Movers Index.
The nation’s love affair with regional Australia continues to grow as the population flow from cities to regions measures around 16 per cent above pre-pandemic levels, according to the Regional Mover’s Index – a report by Commonwealth Bank of Australia and the Regional Australia Institute. The report’s findings show that in the last June quarter, 27 per cent more people moved from cities to regional Australia than in the other direction.
Regional New South Wales account for the largest share of all net regional inflows at 42 per cent. Regional Queensland was the most popular moving destination last year but accounted for only 19 per cent of moves this year. Sydney-siders and Melburnians led the exodus to the regions whereas Perth and Brisbane attracted net-inflows of migration at six and three per cent respectively.
