The bar chart illustrates the change in percentage of people who were born in Australia and outside Australia living in urban, rural and town between 1995 and 2010.

From the graph, we can observe that cities have have the highest percentage of population amongst both sets of people from 1995 to 2010. People staying in towns and rural areas have drastically reduced over time for people born in and outside Australia, especially in rural areas for people born outside Australia.

The population of people born in Australia, who have settled in cities increased by 20%. The same trend is observed in people who are not born in Australia and have migrated to cities, with their population also increasing by 20%. As of the population in towns, there is a decrease of 5% in natives over one and a half decade but the percentage remained the same for the outsiders. When it comes to rural areas, there is a significant decline of 25% amongst the people born outside Australia, while the natives experienced a decline of almost 8%. So this tells us that the people who migrated to Australia, preferred to move to the city rather than moving to the town, or rural areas.
