The diagram illustrates the difference percentagewise of Australian population who were born both in and outside Australia living in cities, suburbs and towns in period of time from 1995 to 2010.
Overall, in 1995 the majority of people whether born in or outside Australia lived in cities, same trend for 2010. The least populated areas were towns in 1995 and rural areas in 2010.
It is obvious from the 1995 graph that minority of people lived in towns, comprising 20% and 10% of original and migrated population respectively. In compare, most people chose to live in cities independent of birth location, constituting for a half of root Australians and 10% higher index of immigrants. In addition, rural areas were chosen to live by nearly a third of root , while 40% of immigrants decided to settle in suburbs.
As it can be seen from the 2010 bar chart, approximately 18% of original dwellers were likely to live both in towns and rural areas, while the former sector was inhabited by almost 2% less number of migrated population, whereas the latter areas were likely to be lived only by about 5% of migrants. Preserving same trend, 80% of non-Australians lived in cities, while locals figures were nearly 15% less.
