Ancestry & Birthplace in Maryland
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
Strong British and Irish roots define the identity of Maryland, where over half the population claims English or Irish ancestry. This traditional heritage is reflected in a community that is far less diverse than the rest of the state, with a very high proportion of residents born in Australia.
Ancestry
The ancestries people most identify with.
English ancestry is the most common at 38.2%, followed by Australian (29.2%) and Irish (16.9%) roots. German and Dutch backgrounds each make up 7.9% of the population.
Country of birth
Australia and the largest overseas communities.
Only 9% of people here were born overseas, a figure far below the New South Wales average of 29.3%. Most residents were born in Australia (69.7%), while England is the most common overseas birthplace at 5.6%.
