INFORMATION ABOUT CSV FILES
The product Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Volume 4 – Significant Urban Areas, Urban Centres and Localities, Section of State (cat no. 1270.0.55.004) contains comma-separated (.csv) files. These files list the codes, labels and hierarchies for the regions within the ASGS Urban Centre Localities (UCL) / Section of State (SOS) Structure and the ASGS Significant Urban Areas (SUA) Structure.
The .csv files are located in the Downloads Tab of this publication.
There are four .csv files listing the geographical hierarchies for the following regions:
- Urban Centre and Locality (UCL)
- Section of State Range (SOSR)
- Section of State (SOS)
- Significant Urban Area (SUA)
There are two association .csv files to help users understand the changes between the 2011 and 2016 editions of the following regions:
- Urban Centre and Locality (UCL)
- Significant Urban Area (SUA)

- SUA_NAME_2016
- AREA_ALBERS_SQKM (of the SUAs)
This file may be used to list all 2016 SUAs in Australia. The file does not include State and Territory information as SUAs may cross State and Territory borders.

- AREA_ALBERS_SQKM (of the SA2s)
This file can be used to determine how SA2s aggregate directly to Significant Urban Areas.
This publication includes the ‘SUA_association_2011_2016.csv file’. This associates 2011 SUAs with an equivalent 2016 SUA to help users understand changes and make statistical comparisons between SUAs over multiple Censuses. This table includes information on the area of the SUAs as well as the following types of changes:
- Amalgamated – When SUAs have been merged together to form one SUA.
- Name Change – When an SUA has changed name.
- New – When an SUA is new for 2016.
SUA_association_2011_2016.csv contains the following fields:
- SUA_CODE_2011
- SUA_NAME_2011
- AREA_ALBERS_SQKM_2011
- SUA_CODE_2016
- SUA_NAME_2016
- AREA_ALBERS_SQKM_2016

This publication includes the ‘UCL_association_2011_2016.csv file’. This associates 2011 UCLs with an equivalent 2016 UCL to help users understand changes and make statistical comparisons between UCLs over multiple Censuses. This table includes information on the area of the UCLs as well as the following types of changes:
- Amalgamated – When UCLs have been merged together to form one UCL.
- De-amalgamated – When UCLs have been split to create several UCLs.
- Name Change – When an UCL has changed name. This includes the addition or removal of the (L) at the end of a name to symbolise if a UCL is a Locality.
- New – When an UCL is new for 2016.
- Removed – When an UCL no longer meets the criteria and is removed from the UCL structure.
