A Korean Australian is a person of Korean descent living in Australia, and identifies him or herself as such.
At the 2006 census 54,600 persons resident in Australia identified themselves as being of Korean ancestry, either alone or with another ancestry [2]. 52,763 persons resident in Australia had been born in South Korea [3]. Only 38% declared holding Australian citizenship, 75% had arrived in Australia in 1990 or later, and 63% reside in New South Wales (few ethnic groups are as concentrated in one states as Koreans are in New South Wales).
At the 2006 Census 37,426 (71.2%) Korean-born Australian residents declared they were Christian, 3,500 (6.5%) declared they were Buddhist and 9,562 (18.2%) professed no religious affiliation.[4]
