Local Government Area (LGA) based data for Usual Residence 1986, from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 1986 Census of Population and Housing. The data is by LGA 1986 boundaries. Periodicity: 5-Yearly.
This data is used with permission from the ABS. The tabular data was supplied to AURIN by the Australian Data Archives. The cleaned, high resolution 1986 geographic boundaries (cat. no. 1261.0.30.001) are available from Data.gov.au.
For more information please refer to the 1986 Census Dictionary (cat. no. 2102.0).
Please note:
- This table includes all persons counted at their place of usual residence on census night as well as usual residents temporarily absent, i.e. persons not at home on census night were coded back to their LGA of usual residence, and were included in the table to enable counts to be determined for the usual resident population of a particular LGA. Persons who usually reside outside the LGA, but were within it on census night, were excluded from the usual resident population of that LGA. They were, however, transferred back to their own LGA of usual residence.
