The chart illustrates the birthplace of people living in Australia and the table gives information about the type of place people born in different countries intend to live in Australia. Overall, the figure for people born in Australia is the largest, as opposed to the lowest figure which can be seen in the number of people born in the Netherlands. Moreover, living in cities was a much common choice among all the nationalities when compared to rural areas.
As expected, approximately a third of people living in Australia were born in Australian territories, while the other 27% had different birthplaces. To illustrate, individuals born in European countries such as the Netherlands and the UK made up over 8% of the total population. On the other hand, moving to Australia was less common among residents of New Zealand and China with over 3% and 2% of the total population being born in these countries respectively. In Addition, people born in other nations contributed an eye-catching percentage of 14% to the Australian population.
Additionally, Chinese population were mostly interested in living in big cities with nearly 99% of them choosing these locations. English and Dutch individuals preferred living in metropolises as well and only 10% and 11% of them decided to live in rural areas respectively. Ironically, Australians did not enjoy the city lifestyle with around 17% of them living in small towns and rural areas. The same pattern can be seen in the percentage of Kiwis living in rural areas which came to around 20%.
