Census 2001 Your window to Census information

What is a Census? The Census of population and housing is undertaken every 5 years by the ABS. It aims to measure the number and key characteristics of people in Australia on Census night. The last Census was held on the 7 th August 2001.

What is the Census used for? The census provides a reliable basis to estimate the population and growth of each state This information is used by councils and governments to allocate funds and to plan where services such as roads, schools and hospitals should be provided

Type of Data Collected Demographic – Number of people, age, sex, marital status Education – Level of education Work – Type of employment, F/T or P/T and mode of travel to work Housing – Where people live, type of dwelling and ownership Income – Individual and Family Other – Language spoken and religion

Census Geographic Levels

CD - Collection Districts This is the smallest area at which census data is collected and on average contains from households.

LGA – Local Government Areas These are the city and shire boundaries that make up the urban and rural areas of the state. The CD boundaries do not cross LGA boundaries so each LGA is an aggregate of CD information.

SLA – Statistical Local Areas These are areas usually within LGA boundaries that have a particular use for planning purposes. For example the SLA, Melbourne – Inner which covers the Melbourne CBD.

S DIST – Statistical District These areas are defined around selected urban areas with a population of 25,000 or more outside capital cities

SD – Statistical Divisions These areas are geographic regions characterized by identifiable social and economic links between inhabitants eg. Melbourne city and suburbs. LGA boundaries do not cross SD boundaries so each SD is an aggregate of LGA information. SDs fit into the boundaries of each State.
