What sort of data will be available in the time series format?

The Time Series Profile (TSP) consists of 26 tables containing key Census characteristics of persons, families and dwellings.

The data are based on place of enumeration, not place of usual residence (as previously envisaged) due to the unavailability of CD of usual residence in 1996 to concord 1996 SLAs to 2006 SLAs.

This profile compares data from the 1996, 2001 and 2006 Censuses and is based on 2006 Statistical Local Area boundaries. Where classifications have been revised, data are output on the classification used for the 2006 Census.

To provide comparability between Censuses the revised classifications have been concorded, and footnotes added to the tables to indicate this. Relevant concordance files will be available though the ABS web site.

The first release of TSP was on 27 August 2007 and the second release on 27 November 2007.
