Almost 75 percent of Aussies living in state or territory capital cities are open to considering moving to smaller cities if the circumstances were right, according to a new report. Fifty percent of people view mid-size cities with a population between 5,000 and 100,000 an excellent place to settle after retirement. The cities are thought to offer a better quality of life, while the larger regions are better for education and Australian job opportunities, along with urban amenities. Australia is a great place to live and raise a family. Contact Australia Immigration Professionals today and receive information about the immigration process.

Larger cities are attractive to young, educated people who value benefits that come with living in large cities, like access to restaurants, retail stores, art, and cultural services, according to the report from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute. Three-fourths of those asked were open to relocating from the large city to a mid-sized region and a fifth of those would be even more encouraged by comparable educational and job options.

Jobs were the highest reason for people wanting to move to the larger city, followed by education and healthcare. Over the past few years, large cities with a population of over 100,000 have been more enticing to domestic residents and international migrants. Australia’s population is forecast to double over the next half century, so strategies will be necessary to disperse growth.
