The 1991 Census Basic Community profiles present 57 tables containing summary characteristics of persons and/or dwellings for Statistical Local Areas (SLA) in Australia. This table contains data relating to family type (a). Counts are of all families, based on place of enumeration on census night which; includes overseas visitors; excludes Australians overseas; and excludes adjustment for under-enumeration. The data is by SLA 1991 boundaries. Periodicity: 5-Yearly. This data is ABS data (cat. no. 2101.0 & original geographic boundary cat. no. 1261.0.30.001) used with permission from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The tabular data was processed and supplied to AURIN by the Australian Data Archives. The cleaned, high resolution 1991 geographic boundaries are available from data.gov.au. For more information please refer to the 1991 Census Dictionary. Please note: (a) This table provides comparability with the 1986 family classification. Where categories have changed, thefootnotes explain the equivalent terminology used in 1986. Full comparability is not possible because the definition ofdependent offspring has changed. In 1986 a 'dependent family child' was aged 0-14, or 15-20 years and a full-timestudent, whereas in the 1991 Census, 21-24 year old offspring studying full-time are also defined as dependents.
