WHAT'S NEW THIS MONTH

Topics which have been updated with new data in this month's issue of SA Stats include: Construction; Consumption; Housing Finance; International Merchandise Trade; Labour Force; Price Indexes; and Water.

This month's SA Stats includes an article which provides some background about the new Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). In 2011 the ABS will replace the current Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) with the new ASGS and the new classification will be used for the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. The current ASGC regions such as Census Collection Districts (CCDs), Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) and Statistical Divisions (SDs) will disappear to be replaced by the new Statistical Areas Levels 1 to 4.
