CDATA ONLINE - cat. no. 2064.0
 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2006 CDATA Online is an online tool which combines information on Australian society from the 2006 Census, with web graphing and mapping capability. CDATA Online allows you to create your own tables of Census data on a range of different topics such as - age, education, housing, income, transport, religion, ethnicity, occupation and more. This free online product allows you to create tables, maps and graphs of Census characteristics for all ABS geographic areas.
The product is designed to provide clients with a high degree of freedom in selecting and combining the geographical areas most suited to their needs. You can access data for areas as small as a Collection District (approximately 225 households) or as large as an entire state or territory or all of Australia. CDATA Online allows you the freedom to select and combine areas that interest you by creating your own customised geographic areas.
With CDATA Online you are able to cross-tabulate chosen Census data variables to produce a table which can also be viewed as a graph or a thematic map. Predetermined basic tables are available for selection based on broad topics via a topic list. Once a table has been created it can be further customised by adding and removing data items and geographic areas, and by creating custom data groups. Tables, graphs and maps created in CDATA Online can be downloaded in a variety of formats, while registered users can also save created tables, within CDATA Online, for future retrieval.
Registered users of CDATA Online can save their custom geographies, data items and tables. However, users logged in as a guest will not have the ability to save custom geographies, data items and tables. The CDATA Online product will replace selected census products which were available in 2001, such as CLIB, CDATA Quickbuild & Census for Schools.
The CDATA Online product was jointly developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Space-Time Research.
