The pie chart illustrates the countries of birth of individuals residing in Australia, whereas the table provides information about where these groups live, either in cities or rural areas.
Overall, it is clear that the majority of Australian residents were born in Australia, while the remaining population came from overseas. In addition, individuals from all of the five countries were far more likely to live in cities than in rural areas.
Australia accounted for by far the largest proportion of residents, at 73%. The remaining population, was born overseas, with people from the UK making up 7%, while New Zealand, China and Netherlands show the smallest percentages at 3%, 2% and 1%, respectively. Nevertheless, the remaining 14% came from other countries.
People from China were most likely to live in cities at 99%, followed by those from Netherlands at 90%, and UK at 89%. The figures were slightly lower for Australian and New Zealand-born residents, at 83% and 80%, respectively. Therefore, the rural populations accounted for only 1% in China, compared to 20% of people born in New Zealand, which was the highest proportion among all countries.
