Cumberland City

Recent arrivals - Introduction

In Cumberland City, 31,558 people had arrived in Australia within 5 years prior to 2016.

Recent arrivals are defined as those persons who are now usual residents of the area, who arrived in Australia (not necessarily within the local area) between 1 January 2016 and 10 August 2021 (past 5 years), having been born overseas. It does not include returning Australian residents.

Recent arrivals are an important community to quantify and understand, as migrants may have difficulties settling into and contributing to Australian society, and local government provides many services to support recent migrants.

Derived from the Census question:

'In what year did the person first arrive in Australia to live here for one year or more?'

People born overseas and arriving in Australia between 2016 to 10 Aug 2021

Data notes

Because of the year-based definition of recent arrivals, no time series information is shown for this group.

For dwelling related topics (household type, household income, bedrooms etc), only household members who arrived in the specified time period are counted in the table. If more than one household member arrived in that time period, there will be multiple counts for the same household in the table.
