More Australians are choosing to move away from capital cities with nearly four moving to the regions for every three moving to the cities, a new index reveals.
The Regional Movers Index showed the number of people moving to regional areas was almost 30 per cent larger than those moving the other way in the first three months of the year.
The index, which draws on customer location data from the Commonwealth Bank, recorded its highest level as city-to-region moves made up 11.9 per cent of all internal Australian migration in the March quarter.
