The graph illustrates alterations in the population of Australian-born and non-Australian-born people who reside in cities, towns and urban areas from 1995 to 2010.
Overall, the percentage of individuals who reside in urban areas increased dramatically. On the contrary, more and more people choose to live outside the rural areas during a given time period.
In 1995, the percentage of people who were born in Australia and lived in the cities was about 50% and that number rose to 65% in 2010. The data for the non-Australian population moved up 20%, from 60% in 1995 to 80% 15 years later. Compared with figures for rural residents both Australians and non-Australians plummeted sharply, where numbers decreased from 30% to 15% for Australian and from 40% to nearly 5% for foreigners.
On the other hand, the number of people born in villages has decreased by at least 5% in all categories at the given time period. Even though, this change is relatively tiny when it is compared to the decline of percentage of birth in rural areas. The birth rate of rural area in people born in Australia and outside Australia fallen from 30 and 40 % to 15 and 5% respectively which was the noteworthy alteration among the other statistics.
