Administrative data snapshot of population and housing
Experimental population data
The following interactive maps present population information sourced from the Administrative Data Snapshot of Population and Housing (30 June 2021).
The interactive maps provide an overview of:
- predominant population age groups by Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2)
- predominant population age groups by Local Government Area (LGA)
- median person income by SA2
- predominant government pension and allowance by SA2
- predominant length of time at current location by SA2.
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 .
