United States
Many well-educated Australians, including scientists, find unique employment opportunities overseas, particularly in the United States of America. In December 2001, the Department of Foreign Affairs estimated that there were 106,000 Australian citizens resident in the United States of America. The major places of residence were: 25,000 living in Los Angeles, 17,000 in San Francisco, 17,000 in Washington DC and 15,000 in New York. For the period 1999-2003, it was estimated that 22% of Australian expatriates, 65,200, were living in the United States. According to a 2010 estimate, in Los Angeles there are now 40,000 Australians.
Australian migration to the United States is greater than Americans going to Australia. At the 2006 Census 71,718 Australian residents declared that they were American-born, a smaller population than the population estimate of Australians living in the United States.
