Time Series Profile

This profile compares data from the 2001, 2006 and 2011 Censuses where the classifications are comparable. If a classification has been revised between Censuses, data will be output on the classification that has been used in the 2011 Census. Footnotes will explain the concordance between the previous classifications and the 2011 classification. The data are based on place of enumeration (where people were counted on Census night).

The change in the geographical classification standards for the 2011 Census will have an effect on Time Series Profiles. The Statistical Local Area (SLA) does not exist as a defined region in the new standard. As a transitional arrangement, and only for the 2011 Census, Time Series Profiles will be released at the SLA level.
