The graph illustrates the figures for people born in and outside of Australia, in percentage, by living areas: cities, towns, and rural areas from 1950 to 2010.

Overall, there were more people born outside of Australia than inside in both 1950 and 2010. All of them, however, chose to live in cities rather than in towns and countryside. Therefore, cities witnessed a remarkable increase in population in 2010, while the other areas saw downtrends.

In the year 1950, of those born outside of Australia, 60% of them lived in cities, compared to 40% in the countryside. Only over 10% chose to stay in towns.
