This layer provide some of the more commonly used variables from the General Community Profile information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 census. Data is available for Country, Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA), Local Government Area (LGA), Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) and 2 (SA2), and Suburb and Localities (SAL) boundaries.

The General Community Profile contains a series of tables showing the characteristics of persons, families and dwellings in a selected geographic area. The data is based on place of usual residence (that is, where people usually live, rather than where they were counted on Census night). Community Profiles are excellent tools for researching, planning and analysing geographic areas for a number of social, economic and demographic characteristics.

The Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset (ACLD) brings together a 5% sample from the 2006 Census with records from the 2011 Census to create a research tool for exploring how Australian society is changing over time. In taking a longitudinal view of Australians, the ACLD may uncover new insights into the dynamics and transitions that drive social and economic change over time, conveying how these vary for diverse population groups and geographies. It is envisaged that the 2016 and successive Censuses will be added in the future, as well as administrative data sets. The ACLD is released in ABS TableBuilder and as a microdata product in the ABS Data Laboratory.

The Census of Population and Housing is conducted every five years and aims to measure accurately the number of people and dwellings in Australia on Census Night.

Microdata products are the most detailed information available from a Census or survey and are generally the responses to individual questions on the questionnaire. They also include derived data from answers to two or more questions and are released with the approval of the Australian Statistician. The following microdata products are available for this longitudinal dataset: •ACLD in TableBuilder - an online tool for creating tables and graphs. •ACLD in ABS Data Laboratory (ABSDL) - for in-depth analysis using a range of statistical software packages.

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield Community Profile provides demographic and economic analysis for the Council area and its suburbs based on results from the 2016, 2011, 2006, 2001, 1996 and 1991 Censuses of Population and Housing. The profile is updated with population estimates when the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) releases new figures. This is an interactive query tool where results can be downloaded in various formats. Three reporting types are available from this resource: 1. Social atlas that delivers the data displayed on a map showing each SA1 area (approx 200 households), 2. Community Profile which delivers data at a District level which contain 2 to 3 suburbs, and 3. Economic Profile which reports statistics of an economic indicators. The general community profile/social atlas themes available for reporting on are: -Age -Education -Ethnicity -Disability -Employment/Income -Household types -Indigenous profile -Migration -Journey to work -Disadvantage -Population Estimates -Building approvals. It also possible to navigate to the Community Profiles of some other Councils as well.

Destination Zones (DZN)

Destination Zones (DZN) are co-designed with state and territory transport authorities for the analysis of Census Place of Work data, commuting patterns and the development of transport policy.

Destination Zones are geographic areas built from whole Mesh Blocks. Whole Destination Zones add up to form Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s). They do not align to Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s).

The Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset (ACLD) is Australia's largest longitudinal dataset bringing together a 5% random sample of around one million records from the 2006 Census with corresponding records from the 2011 Census. It provides a unique opportunity for researchers and policy makers to examine pathways and transitions of population groups, such as unemployed individuals transition into the labour force. Over time, the ACLD will continue to grow as records from each new Census are linked which will further enhance its longitudinal view. The ACLD will also be augmented in the future to take account of migration and births that occur between Censuses.

The 1986 Census Collection District Master File (CDMF) stores basic counts and associated geographic codes for every collection district (CD) in Australia, for tabulation, field control, processing control and general research purposes, and to facilitate linkage to previous Census data. The data is by CD 1986 boundaries. Periodicity: 5-Yearly.

This data is ABS data (original geographic boundary cat. no. 1261.0.30.001 & census dictionary cat. no. 2102.0) used with permission from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1)

Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s) are designed to maximise the geographic detail available for Census of Population and Housing data while maintaining confidentiality.

SA1s are built from whole Mesh Blocks and have a population between 200 and 800 people. In remote and regional areas they generally have smaller populations than those in urban areas. SA1s are designed to represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as accurately as possible, particularly in remote areas.

Using SA1s with Census data

Use SA1s to see how Census characteristics vary at a neighbourhood scale within larger areas such as Suburbs or Local Government Areas.
