Ancestry & Birthplace in Timor
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
A very strong Australian identity defines Timor, where nearly 43% of residents claim Australian ancestry. This heritage is reflected in the town's birth statistics, as the vast majority of people were born within Australia.
Ancestry
The ancestries people most identify with.
The most common ancestries are Australian (42.6%), English (29.4%), and Irish (8.8%). German and Indian backgrounds are also present, making up 7.4% and 5.9% of the population.
Country of birth
Australia and the largest overseas communities.
Only 4.4% of people here were born overseas, which is far below the 30% seen across Victoria and the 27.7% national figure. This means Timor has a much lower proportion of overseas-born residents than most other areas.
