Usage

Census2016_wide_by_SA2_year

Description

Tables with two keys (the SA2 and a label for which the count applies)

Usage

Census2016_ancestories

Census2016_languages

Census2016_religions

Census2016_n_women_by_children_ever_born

Format

A data.table of 4 columns. The keys are sa2_code

Details

From the Community Series time series data packs. N.B. countries_of_birth only includes the top 35 responses countries of birth across Australia. sa2_code is not necessarily the same as SA2_MAINYY for 2006, 2011, and 2016. Instead, the code reflects the 2016 boundaries and the values given allow comparisons to be made over time on these boundaries.

`Census2016_ancestories`

N.B. This table is a multi-response table, and therefore the total response count will not equal the total persons count. Sinhalese is equivalent to Sri Lankan.
