The ABS is pleased to announce that an exciting new way of accessing and customising 2006 Census Data is just weeks away!

2006 CDATA Online will allow you to create your own tables of Census data on a range of different topics such as - age, education, housing, income, transport, religion, ethnicity, occupation and more. All Census geographies will be available, from a single Collection District to an entire State/Territory or total Australia. You will even be able to make your own custom areas and view your Census data in tables, graphs and maps. CDATA 2006 is more powerful than ever before because the data used to construct your table is the same data we use to create our outputs inside the ABS. The CDATA Online Product Brief provides a full product description.

This page is about to change! Shortly, we will introduce some exciting changes to this page. As part of this upgrade the product links below will be removed. A comprehensive range of Census online products will continue to be available from the Census Data Online link in the left hand main menu.
