Shell 2011 Census databases for TableBuilder Pro and TableBuilder Basic are now available.

The shell databases can help you begin constructing your customised table shells in TableBuilder Pro 2011 or TableBuilder Basic 2011, and be ready to populate them with actual values as soon as data become available. First release data will be available for TableBuilder Pro 2011 on 7 August 2012 and for TableBuilder Basic 2011 on 21 August 2012.

TableBuilder Basic, a free product, allows you to create basic data tables using a range of topic-based databases that include classifications such as age, education, housing, income, transport, religion, ethnicity and occupation. TableBuilder Pro, a charged product, allows you to create complex tables with nearly all variables available in Census data. For more information, see the TableBuilder page.

To start accessing the 2011 shell databases, you will need to register for TableBuilder. See the Registration centre page.
