Introduction

reset

In 2021, there were 21,603 people born overseas living in the City of Playford.

This population includes anyone who stated that they were born in Total overseas born.

The population born overseas is an extremely important one in Australia, as immigration is integral to our national identity. Typically Australia takes in several hundred thousand new migrants each year, though the 2021 Census was conducted during the COVID pandemic, when migration was lower due to border closures. These affected different communities differently and the results can be seen in this module.

Information on migrant communities is vital for planning local government activities such as community services, library collections, translation services, as well as planning for types of dwellings and community infrastructure.

Particular birthplace groups may be prevalent in particular areas, and for the larger communities, it is possible to obtain information on the characteristics of that specific community.

There may be significant differences between birthplace groups from different countries in terms of age structure, living arrangements, student status etc. This forms part of the story of that birthplace group, and the role and function the City of Playford plays in housing them. For instance, people from particular countries may be mainly university students, others could be sponsored migrants for work, while others may be refugees, or older post-War migrants who are long-term residents. These topics allow the exploration of these characteristics for the specific birthplaces in the City of Playford.
