Ancestry & Birthplace in Orange
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
Australian ancestry is the most common root for people in Orange, where 43.1% of residents claim this heritage. The area has a very strong connection to British Isles roots, with English, Irish and Scottish ancestries also being very prominent. This creates a profile that is far less diverse in birthplace than the rest of the state.
