The Australian – Page: 1 & 2 : 12-Apr-17

The first data from the 2016 Census shows that the "typical" Australian is a 38-year-old married women with two children and a mortgage. While both parents of this average Australian were born in Australia, the Census data shows that in both Victoria and New South the average resident now boasts at least one parent who was born overseas. The data also indicates that Australia has become a nation of home loan borrowers. New South Wales and Tasmania are now the only states where a majority of residents own their home outright.
