Ancestry & Birthplace in Boho South
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
A strong sense of colonial heritage shapes daily life in Boho South, where nearly three quarters of residents claim English, Australian, or Scottish roots. This deep connection to traditional migration patterns is reflected in a community that is far less diverse than the rest of the state.
