Census Collection District (CD) See chapter 2, The spatial units. See chapter 2, The spatial units. SRSs consist of one or more adjoining SLAs and in all but three cases equate to one or more adjoining SSDs.
The three exceptions are:
Although SRSs are subdivisions of SRs, most SRSs equate with SRs. Exceptions to this generalised rule include the SRSs in the Hunter, Illawarra, Mackay-Fitzroy-Central West, Northern-North West, South and East Moreton, Darling Downs-South West, Tasmania and Northern Territory SRs and the SRSs in the Brisbane MSR. SRSs are used primarily for disseminating selected labour force statistics. SRSs have also been used to present a range of regional statistics not incorporated in the Main Structure.
There are 88 SRSs in this edition of the ASGC. SRS code SRSs are identified by five-digit codes. Each code consists of S/T code (digit 1), MSR code (digit 2), SR code (digits 3–4) and SRS code (digit 5).
Only digits 1, 3–4 and 5 are required for unique identification within Australia. Statistical Region (SR) SRs consist of one or more adjoining SSDs in all but three cases.
In the capital cities of the five larger States of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, SRs are smaller than SDs and aggregate to form the respective capital city SDs. Outside of the capital cities in these S/Ts, SRs consist of one or more adjoining SDs. In Tasmania, Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Other Territories, SRs are the entire S/Ts. There are 65 SRs in this edition of the ASGC. SR code SRs are identified by four-digit codes as follows:
The SR code 98 has been reserved for special purposes (see chapter 8). Major Statistical Region (MSR) Each of the five larger States of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia consists of two MSRs. One MSR equates with the capital city SD and the other with the balance of the State. The other S/Ts have one MSR each with each MSR covering the entire area of the S/T. MSR code MSRs are identified by two-digit codes for unique identification within Australia. Each code consists of an S/T code (digit 1) and an MSR code (digit 2). MSR code 1 represents the capital city MSR in the larger States while code 9 denotes the Balance of State MSR.
Delimitation of MSR, SR, SRS One of the main uses of these spatial units is to report statistics from the Labour Force Surveys. These units were established following analyses of data from Censuses of Population and Housing, consultation with users of labour force data, consideration of minimum regional population levels required to yield reliable estimates, and the need for consistency with other statistical collections. State/Territory (S/T) See chapter 2, The spatial units.
