The following 2006 Census QuickMaps templates are provided as a guide to the topics which will be available via QuickMaps when the data from 2006 Census is released. The topic lists may be downloaded free of charge from the Details tab.

QuickMaps are designed to provide users with quick and easy access to thematically mapped Census statistics. Output will be based on Place of Usual Residence. The maps will be available for larger geographies and will depict selected population, ethnicity, education, family, income, labour force and dwelling characteristics.

Users will have the opportunity to select a topic and a level of geographic disaggregation that best suits their needs wherever possible. The mapping range method will most probably be 'the equal count method' to create ranges so that each range contains the same number of records thus creating an even spread of colour in the Thematic map.

The maps contain identifiers for clients to recognise selected areas. Identifiers include main roads, rivers, airports and selected areas labelled. A scale bar is included on each map for reference.
