Year of arrivals

reset

In 2021, 17,465 Non-English speakers speakers living in Central Coast NSW were born overseas, and 18.0% arrived in Australia within 5 years prior to 2021.

The Year of Arrival data records when the overseas born population arrived in Australia. The data shows the degree to which areas are 'ports' for new overseas arrivals and reveals the role of Central Coast NSW in housing newer or older migrant groups. When looking at those speaking a language other than English this will tend to exclude those from English speaking countries, and may indicate whether the languages are used by recent migrants, older migrants, or 2nd or 3rd generation Australians.

Q:

Derived from the Census question:
