The 2001 Census of Population and Housing was conducted on Tuesday 7 August 2001. All forms have been processed and ABS is now just a few short months away from the release of the first data. This Census will see more data than ever before provided free to the community through the ABS web site. Data will be progressively released to the ABS web site from June 2002. Read on to find out just what will be available. What data can you expect to access free via the web site? Basic Community Profiles The ABS web site will provide all Basic Community Profiles (BCPs) with geography down to Statistical Local Area (SLA) level for all of Australia. Clients will be able to access information on their area of interest via an intuitive, drill-down map interface incorporating key geographical identifiers. Tables will include counts of people by sex, age, marital status, income, family and dwelling characteristics to provide a profile of the area selected. Main Findings The web site will also provide, free of charge, the main findings from the publications series: Selected Social and Housing Characteristics (Cat. Nos. 2015.0 - 8) Selected Education and Labour Force Characteristics (Cat. Nos. 2017.0 - 8) Selected Characteristics for Urban Centres/Localities (Cat. Nos. 2016.0 - 7) Census Snapshots Census Snapshots provide readily accessible summary information for selected areas and have been developed with casual users and the media in mind. This summary information is extracted from BCP tables and can be readily adapted for reports or used as a ready reference. Some time series information is also provided for comparison of the characteristics of selected areas over time. Access to Census Snapshots is very simple.
