Ancestry & Birthplace in Sheep Hills
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
A total absence of overseas-born residents marks Sheep Hills as a rare outlier compared to the rest of the country. While nearly 28% of Australians were born abroad, not a single person in this area was born outside Australia. This creates a landscape with a very traditional ancestral profile.
Ancestry
The ancestries people most identify with.
English is the most common ancestry at 40.7%, followed by German at 18.5% and Scottish at 14.8%. Australian, Irish, and others make up the remainder of the local heritage.
Country of birth
Australia and the largest overseas communities.
No one in Sheep Hills was born overseas, which is far below the 30% seen in Victoria and 27.7% across Australia. Consequently, the vast majority of residents were born in Australia.
