The Administrative Data Snapshot of Population and Housing (ADS) is a new, experimental release of population and housing data built from administrative data sources. SA2s and LGAs are defined by the  Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 .

Like the Census, the ADS provides a snapshot of Australian people and houses at a point in time but has a smaller and different set of person and housing characteristics.

For more information about population counts from the ADS, please see the ABS release  Administrative data snapshot of population, 30 June 2021 .
