Explore your city with the 2006 Census Social Atlas Series

The 2006 Census Social Atlas Series was launched by the Assistant Treasurer, the Hon Chris Bowen MP, and the Australian Statistician Brian Pink, at Parliament House, Canberra on 17 March 2008.

The 2006 Census Social Atlas Series provides snapshots of the social, demographic and economic characteristics of each capital city, using thematic colour maps and commentary. They highlight the geographic distribution of characteristics of the population such as employment and income, age and ethnicity, and family dwellings.

Social Atlases are available for all Australian capital cities and for the first time include selected regional centres.

Sydney, also includes Newcastle, Central Coast and Wollongong
Melbourne, also includes Geelong
Brisbane, also includes Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast
Adelaide, also includes Mount Gambier and Whyalla
Perth (including Mandurah), also includes Bunbury and Kalgoorlie
Darwin and Palmerston, also includes Alice Springs and Litchfield Shire
Hobart, also includes Launceston and Burnie-Devonport

The Social Atlas Series contain maps covering seven broad topics:

Population
Cultural Diversity
Education
Labour Force
Income
Families and Households
Dwellings

Another great feature of the Social Atlases is the set of reference maps which assist you to identify specific locations, Statistical Local Areas and Postal Areas. Reference maps may be copied to produce overlays that can be placed over the thematic maps to assist you in locating areas and topics of interest.

The 2006 Census Social Atlases are available for purchase for $29 each or $193 (a saving of $39) for the full set. To purchase simply call the National Information and Referral Service on 1300 135 070 between 8.30am and 5.00pm.
