Chart and table of population level and growth rate for the Canberra, Australia metro area from 1950 to 2025.

The projections are based upon actual values obtained in 2015, and estimates obtained for 2016. A full list of all projections, including historical projections, can be found at http://apps.treasury.act.gov.au/demography/projections/act.

These population projections are not intended to present predictions of the demographic future to any degree of reliability or precision. The population projections contained here are the projected population resulting from certain assumptions about future trends in fertility, mortality and migration trends.

Future population trends are influenced by a variety of social, economic and political factors, with significant fluctuation in short-term population growth rates as well as in the underlying social, economic and political influencers. Numerous behavioural assumptions are required to be made for each age cohort and sex. Many of these assumptions will be swamped by the random impacts on the future movements of individuals through births, deaths, and relocation. Neither the authors nor the ACT Government give warranty in relation to these projections, and no liability is accepted by the authors or the Government or any other person who assisted in the preparation of the publication, for errors and omissions, loss or damage suffered as a result of any person acting in reliance thereon.

As of June 2023, in the Australian Capital Territory, about 8.9percent of the population was between 30 and 34 years old. In comparison, just 1.6 percent of the population was over the age of 85.

During an omnibus survey respondents were questioned concerning their use and frequency of use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs including pain killers, stomach settlers, sedatives and tranquillisers. Marijuana use was investigated using a randomised response technique. Further questions involved the respondents' approval of changes to laws relating to marijuana use and supply. Background variables included age, education, qualifications and income.

In this omnibus survey, topics investigated were dwelling and household characteristics; occurrence of disability in household members; employment history and conditions; life satisfaction; attitudes to and knowledge and personal experience of cancer; opinions on political leaders, the world economy, ACT self-government, and marijuana and its legalisation. Voting intentions in a federal election and the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs, including patent medicines, were also examined. The drug questions were asked using a randomised response technique. Background variables are age, sex, marital status, birthplace, and residence in Australia for the workforce data, and educational level and income for the individual data.

In this omnibus survey, topics investigated were tenure, duration and location of residence in current and previous dwelling, occurrence of disability in household members, opinions on child care, ideal family size, contraception, family planning services and abortion advice services. Additional topics investigated were ratings and use of Canberra radio, attitudes to proposals for the constitutional development of the Australian Capital Territory, voting intentions in Legislative Assembly and House of Representative elections, opinions on local and Federal political leaders, current and future economic conditions, and newspaper readership. Background variables are age, sex, marital status and birthplace for the workforce data, and income and educational level for the individual data.

The workforce dataset contains monthly workforce sizes from July 2005 to June 2018 in the eight Australian capital cities with estimated stratification by indoor and outdoor workers. It is included in both csv and rda format. It includes variables for:

Year Month GCCSA (Greater Capital City Statistical Area, which is used to define capital cities) Date (using the first day of the month) fulltime: Fulltime workers parttime: Parttime workers n. Overall workers outorin. Estimated indoor or outdoor status

This data are derived from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Labour Force, Australia, Detailed, LM1 dataset: LM1 - Labour force status by age, greater capital city and rest of state (ASGS), marital status and sex, February 1978 onwards (pivot table). Occupational data from the 2006, 2011 and 2016 Census of Population and Housing (ABS Census TableBuilder Basic data) were used to stratify this dataset into indoor and outdoor classifications as per the "Indooroutdoor classification.xlsx" file. For the Census data, GCCSA for the place of work was used, not the place of usual residence.

Occupations were defined by the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). Each 6-digit ANZSCO occupation (the lowest level classification) was manually cross-matched with their corresponding occupation(s) from the Canadian National Occupation System (NOC). ANZSCO and NOC share a similar structure, because they are both derived from the International Standard Classification of Occupations. NOC occupations listed with an “L3 location” (include main duties with outdoor work for at least part of the working day) were classified as outdoors, including occupations with multiple locations. Occupations without a listing of "L3 location" were classified as indoors (no outdoor work). 6-digit ANZSCO occupations were then aggregated to 4-digit unit groups to match the ABS Census TableBuilder Basic data. These data were further aggregated into indoor and outdoor workers. The 4-digit ANZSCO unit groups’ indoor and outdoor classifications are listed in "Indooroutdoor classification.xlsx."

ANZSCO occupations associated with both indoor and outdoor listings were classified based on the more common listing, with indoors being selected in the event of a tie. The cross-matching of ANZSCO and NOC occupation was checked against two previous cross-matches used in published Australian studies utilising older ANZSCO and NOC versions. One of these cross-matches, the original cross-match, was validated with a strong correlation between ANZSCO and NOC for outdoor work (Smith, Peter M. Comparing Imputed Occupational Exposure Classifications With Self-reported Occupational Hazards Among Australian Workers. 2013).

To stratify the ABS Labour Force detailed data by indoors or outdoors, workers from the ABS Census 2006, 2011 and 2016 data were first classified as indoors or outdoors. To extend the indoor and outdoor classification proportions from 2005 to 2018, the population counts were (1) stratified by workplace GCCSA (standardised to the 2016 metrics), (2) logit-transformed and then interpolated using cubic splines and extrapolated linearly for each month, and (3) back-transformed to the normal population scale. For the 2006 Census, workplace location was reported by Statistical Local Area and then converted to GCCSA. This interpolation method was also used to estimate the 1-monthly worker count for Darwin relative to the rest of Northern Territory (ABS worker 1-monthly counts are reported only for Northern Territory collectively).

ABS data are owned by the Commonwealth Government under a CC BY 4.0 license. The attached datasets are derived and aggregated from ABS data.

The statistic shows the frequency of social networking site usage among internet users in the Australian Capital Territory as of April 2018. During the survey, about ** percent of respondents from the Australian Capital Territory said that they use social networking sites more than * times a day.

Abstract

The objective of the ENIGH is to provide a statistical overview of the behavior of household income and expenditure in terms of its amount, origin and distribution; it also offers information on the occupational and sociodemographic characteristics of the members of the household, as well as the characteristics of the housing infrastructure and household equipment.

From 1984, when INEGI began to carry out the survey, until today, new methodologies have been developed, international recommendations have been issued and good practices have been documented for the generation of information on household income and expenditure through surveys. During this period, additions have been made to the subject of the survey, methodological updates and innovations in the processes, to obtain results that reflect reality, taking into account international recommendations and the information requirements of the different users. When the adoption of recommendations and good practices implied a break in the comparability of results, it was preferred to maintain historical comparability.

As of 2008, INEGI decided to publish the results of the ENIGH, whose variables have been constructed and presented in accordance with the recommendations of the UN, specifically, those issued at the 17th International Conference of Labor Statisticians and in the Report of the Canberra Group. This new construction is also the one used in the database of the Socioeconomic Conditions Module of the ENIGH, which is the source of information for the multidimensional measurement of poverty carried out by the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL).

However, in addition to mentioning and analyzing the international recommendations that were put into practice at ENIGH 2022, this document also relates the background of ENIGH, how it emerged and the significant changes it has undergone since then; the objectives of the survey and the recruitment instruments used are mentioned; likewise, as the main axis, there is the description of income and expenditure, their sources, their correlation and implications, this, as the main indicators of household well-being; another chapter lists the main users of the survey information; and finally, the schemes of the topics, categories and variables used in the ENIGH 2022 are presented.

Periodicity: Since 1992 it has been carried out biennially (every two years) with the exception of 2005 when an extraordinary survey was carried out.

Target population: It is made up of the households of nationals or foreigners, who usually reside in private homes within the national territory.

Selection Unit: Private home. The dwellings are chosen through a meticulous statistical process that guarantees that the results obtained from only a part of the population (sample) can be generalized to the total.

Sampling Frame: The sampling frame used is the multipurpose framework of the INEGI, it is constituted with the demographic and cartographic information obtained from the Population and Housing Census 2010. Effective sample size: 105 525 households Observation unit: The household.

Unit of analysis: The household, the dwelling and the members of the household.

Thematic coverage:

Characteristics of the house. Residents and identification of households in the dwelling. Sociodemographic characteristics of the residents of the dwelling. Home equipment, services. Activity condition and occupational characteristics of household members aged 12 and over. Total current income (monetary and non-monetary) of households. Financial and capital perceptions of households and their members. Current monetary expenditure of households. Financial and capital expenditures of households.

The different concepts of the ENIGH are governed by recommendations agreed upon in international conventions, for example:

The resolutions and reports of the 18 International Conferences on Labour Statistics, of the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The final report and recommendations of the Canberra Group, an expert group on "Household Income Statistics".

Manual of Household Surveys. Department of International Economic and Social Affairs, Bureau of Statistics. United Nations, New York, 1987.

They are also articulated with the System of National Accounts and with the Household Surveys carried out by INEGI.

Sample size: At the national level there are, including the ten, 105,525 private homes.

Workload: According to the meticulousness in the recording of information in this project, a load of six interviews in private homes per dozen has been defined for each interviewer. The number of interviews may decrease or increase according to several factors: non-response, recovery from non-response, or additional households.

Geographic coverage

National and at the state level - Urban area: localities with 2,500 or more inhabitants - Rural area: localities with less than 2,500 inhabitants

Analysis unit

Kind of data

Probabilistic household survey

Sampling procedure

The design of the subsample for ENIGH-2022 is characterized by being probabilistic; Consequently, the results obtained from the survey are generalized to the entire population of the study domain, in turn it is two-stage, stratified and by clusters, where the ultimate unit of selection is the dwelling and the unit of observation is the household.

The ENIGH-2022 subsample was selected from the 2012 INEGI master sample, this master sample was designed and selected from the 2012 Master Sampling Framework (Marco Maestro de Muestreo (MMM)) which was made up of housing clusters called Primary Sampling Units (PSUs or Unidades Primarias de Muestreo (UPM)), built from the cartographic and demographic information obtained from the 2010 Population and Housing Census. The master sample allows the selection of subsamples for all housing surveys carried out by INEGI; Its design is probabilistic, stratified, single-stage and by clusters, since it is in them that the dwellings that make up the subsamples of the different surveys were selected in a second stage. The design of the MMM was built as follows:

Formation of the primary sampling units (PSUs) First, the set of PSUs that will cover the national territory is built. The primary sampling units are made up of groups of dwellings with differentiated characteristics depending on the area to which they belong, as specified below:

In high urban areas The minimum size of a PSU is 80 inhabited dwellings and the maximum is 160. They can be made up of: · A block · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of the same AGEB. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different AGEBs in the same locality. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different localities, which belong to the same size of locality.

In urban complement The minimum size of a PSU is 160 inhabited homes and the maximum is 300. They can be made up of: · A block. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of the same AGEB · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different AGEBs in the same locality. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different AGEBs and localities, but of the same municipality.

In rural areas The minimum size of a PSU is 160 inhabited homes and the maximum is 300. They can be made up of: · An AGEB. · Part of an AGEB. · The union of two or more adjoining AGEBs in the same municipality. · The union of an AGEB with a part of another adjoining AGEB in the same municipality.

In this way, each PSU was classified into a single geographical and a sociodemographic stratum. As a result, a total of 683 strata were obtained throughout the country.

The sample size for the ENIGH 2022 was calculated at the Entity level with urban and rural scope considering the variables and non-response rates mentioned above.

At the Entity level in the urban area, in the case of the variable Quarterly Average Current Income, there is a variation between 31 554.58 and 91 003.53, with a variance that isthe between 609 706 543.70 and 570 110 356 234.59, and a design effect that fluctuates between 1.09 and 4.24.

At the Entity level with a rural environment, the variable Quarterly Average Current Income varies between 14 115.33 and 44 778.03, with a variance that ranges between 156 406 519.01 and 12 108 216 477.28, and a design effect that fluctuates between 1.00 and 9.43. Annex C presents the sample sizes for urban and rural entity areas.

Integrating the sample sizes at the national level, there is a sample size of 105,525 households, which guarantees an error of 4.485% at the national level for the variable average quarterly current income.

Sampling deviation

The ENIGH 2022, were raised in a national sample of 105,525 selected homes.

The sample allows information to be obtained at the national level, with a breakdown for localities of 2,500 and more inhabitants and localities of less than 2,500 inhabitants.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

Six collection instruments will be used for the collection of information in each household, four of which concentrate information on the household as a whole.

These are: - Household and housing questionnaire - Household expenditure questionnaires - Daily expenditure booklet

In the other three, individual information is recorded for people - Questionnaire for people aged 12 and over - Questionnaire for people under 12 years of age - Questionnaire for household businesses

This spreadsheet replicates selected data tables from the ACT & Queanbeyan Household Travel Survey dashboard. Please refer to the attached spreadsheet on this page.

About the Travel Demographics theme The data shown replicates the dashboard 'Method of travel' theme, with additional filters applied for demographic attributes. This includes people's gender, age, licence holding status and household income level.

Notes: - The small sample size (approximately 1 per cent) of people who either did not report their gender, or who did not identify as male or female, prevented their analysis as a distinct cohort group. Responses from these participants have been randomly allocated to the male and female groups.

• Household income quartiles are derived by a summation of individual income ranges. As no adjustment has been made for household size, single person households are over-represented in the lowest income quartile. The quartile ranges have been calculated separately for each survey year.

• An employment status of 'Not in workforce' is only applied to children. Retired people will be classed as 'Not employed'.

Note that the tables provided represent a small subset of data available. Only the number and proportion of trips are shown; use of the dashboard or raw survey datasets allow more complex descriptions of travel to be developed.

Source data The data shown is not a Census of travel, but a large survey of several thousand households from across the ACT and Queanbeyan. As with any survey there will be some variability in the accuracy of the results, and how well they reflect the movement of the entire population. For instance, if the survey were to be completed on another day, or with a different subset of households, the results would be slightly different. Interpretations of the data should keep this variability in mind: these are estimates of the broad shape of travel only. Even for the same person, travel behaviour will vary according to many factors: day of week, month of year, season, weather, school holidays, illness, family responsibilities, work from home opportunities, etc. Again, by summarising the travel of many different people, the data provides a view of average weekday patterns.

In interpreting the data, it is worth noting the following points: - A zero cell does not necessarily mean the travel is never made, but rather that the survey participants did not make this travel on their particular survey day. - Values are rounded, and may not sum to the totals shown. Trip time periods are assigned using the mid point of travel: - AM peak (8am to 9am), PM peak (5pm to 6pm), Interpeak (9am to 5pm), Off-peak (after 6pm)

The survey is described on the Transport Canberra and City Services' website: [Household Travel Survey homepage]

Cell annotations and notes Some cells have annotations added to them, as follows: * : Statistically significant difference across survey years (at the 95% confidence level). Confidence intervals indicate where the true measure would typically fall if the survey were repeated multiple times (i.e., 95 times out of 100), recognising that each survey iteration may produce slightly different outcomes. ~ : Unreliable estimate (small sample or wide confidence interval)

Human mediated salinity increases are occurring in freshwaters globally, with consequent negative effects on freshwater biodiversity. Salinity comprises multiple anions and cations. While total concentrations are typically used to infer effects, individual ion concentrations and ion ratios are critical in determining effects. Moreover, estimates of toxicity from single species laboratory tests, may not accurately predict relative effects on populations, communities and ecosystems. Here we compare salinity increases from synthetic marine salts (SMS) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in an outdoor mesocosm experiment in south-eastern Australia. We found different effects of salt types on stream macroinvertebrates at the population, community, and ecosystem function levels, where similar effects were predicted from single species laboratory tests. Our results caution against the use of single species laboratory derived toxicological data to predict both environmentally safe salinity levels and the relative effects of different salt sources on freshwater biodiversity.

Methods We conducted an outdoor experiment using mesocosms holding ~900 L of water. This experiment was conducted at the same location, using identical methods to previous experiments in these mesocosms. Two salinity type treatments were used: NaHCO3 or synthetic marine salt (SMS) dissolved in dechlorinated Canberra tap water. For both there were low and high levels (see papaer for details); plus a control (no salts added). All treatments including the control were replicated in four independent mesocosms (i.e. 20 mesocosms). Each mesocosm was stocked with macroinvertebrates, leaf packs (to measure decomposition) and emergent insect traps.

There are three datasets from this mescosm experiment:

1. Benthic macroinvertebrates

2. Emergent adult insects

3. Leaf decomposition

This dataset presents the synthetically modeled indicators relating to the life satisfaction of the population of small regions of Australia based on the 2016 Census and aggregated following the 2016 edition of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The synthetic indicators are produced by the spatial micro-simulation model (SpatialMSM). The data has been provided by The National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM).

NATSEM’s spatial microsimulation model uses a technique that takes a survey and reweights it to small area Census data. SpatialMSM18 is the application of the NATSEM Spatial Microsimulation model using the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) dataset, the ABS Housing Expenditure Survey (for financial stress) and the 2016 Census of Population and Housing at the SA2 level (Tanton et al. 2011). All the indicators from the SpatialMSM model are synthetic, so there is some model error as well as other error from the survey. Therefore, they are not as accurate as the Census data used.

Data in this dataset comes from NATSEM's spatial microsimulation model. Estimates are for subjective life satisfaction based on questions in the HILDA dataset. A full description of the model, and validation, can be found in the accompanying NATSEM Technical Report.

Please note:

• AURIN has spatially enabled the original data provided directly from NATSEM.

• Where data values are NULL, the data is either unpublished or not applicable mathematically.

• The treatment of Not Stated and Overseas Visitor data is to exclude them from both the numerator and the denominator.
