Ancestry & Birthplace in Charlestown
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
Almost every single person in Charlestown was born in Australia, making it one of the most domestically born areas in the region. This creates a community with a very strong sense of local roots and a lack of recent international migration.
Ancestry

More than half the population identifies as Australian, followed by English at 31.6%, Scottish at 10.1%, and Irish at 6.3%.
Country of birth
Australia and the largest overseas communities.
No one in the area was born overseas, a figure that is far below the Queensland rate of 22.7% and the national figure of 27.7%. This means the typical resident is Australian-born, which is much lower for overseas births than most other areas.
