Many of the people who live in Canberra were not born there, and are there to work or study for a few years before moving on.
The average income in Canberra is around $100 higher per week than anywhere else in Oz. The educational level is higher in Canberra than anywhere else in the country, and 4.5% of the population hold a postgraduate degree, in comparison to the Australia-wide average of 1.8%.
In 2006, the population of the Australian Capital Territory was 333,667. On 869 of this was people living outside of Canberra.
