Ancestry & Birthplace in Scottsdale
Where people and their families come from — the ancestries they identify with and where they were born.
A strong sense of heritage defines Scottsdale, where nearly half of the people identify as Australian by ancestry. Most residents were born in Australia, and the area has far fewer overseas-born residents than the national average.
Ancestry
The ancestries people most identify with.
Australian and English ancestries are the most common, making up 47.4% and 46.1% of the population respectively. Irish, Scottish, and German roots also feature in the community's history.
Country of birth
Australia and the largest overseas communities.
Only 7.2% of people here were born overseas, which is far below the Australian figure of 27.7% and well below Tasmania's 15.4%. This proportion has risen slightly since 2011, with the most common birthplaces outside Australia being England, New Zealand, the Philippines, and China.
