Ancestry & Birthplace in North Shore
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
A strong sense of British and European heritage defines the North Shore (NSW), where nearly half of residents claim Australian ancestry. This heritage is reflected in a population that is much more likely to be born in Australia than people in other parts of the country.
Ancestry
The ancestries people most identify with.
English and Australian ancestries are the most common, at 45.6% and 47.2% respectively, followed by Scottish (15.6%) and Irish (13.2%) roots.
Country of birth
Australia and the largest overseas communities.
Only 7.3% of people here were born overseas, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 29.3%. Most residents were born in Australia (85.7%), with small numbers from New Zealand and England.
