Piora · Suburb / Locality
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
A small number of overseas births continues to be a hallmark of Piora. Only 7% of the population was born outside Australia, which is far below the national figure of 27.7%. This creates a community with very deep local roots and a strong focus on traditional Australian and British heritage.
The ancestries people most identify with.
Most people here claim Australian ancestry at 60.6%, followed by English at 25.4%. Irish, Scottish, and German heritage are also present, each making up between 5.6% and 7% of the population.
Australia and the largest overseas communities.
The vast majority of residents were born in Australia, accounting for 93% of the population. This is far below the New South Wales figure of 29.3% for those born overseas, and it is lower than most similar areas.
