ABS 2006 Census
July 28th 2006 00:16
Just a reminder that on 8th August, the Australian Bureau of Statistics will be conducting the national Census.
The national Census is conducted once every five years and gives a snapshot of the social, economic and housing characteristics across Australia. The Census is the largest statistical collection undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and one of the most important. There are two broad objectives that underpin the Census. The first of these is to accurately measure the number and key characteristics of people in Australia on Census Night and the dwellings in which they live. The second is to provide timely, high quality and relevant data for small geographic areas and small population groups, to complement the rich but broad level data provided by ABS surveys.
There are two methods for completing your Census. You can either do so by filling out the traditional paper form, or you can complete the Census online via the eCensus.
The national Census is one way of keeping track of emerging trends in the property landscape throughout Australia. It is possible to see the type of housing and typical residential households of various regions across Australia. By comparing past data we can see what type of housing is becoming predominant in different areas of the country and therefore can tailor a property investment strategy to target the growth market. The last Census, conducted in 2001 yielded the following household results…
“In the 2001 Census, there were 1,648,023 separate houses (70.3%), 217,996 semi detached, row or terrace houses and townhouses (9.3%), 418,373 flats, units or apartments (17.9%) and 39,487 other dwellings (1.7%).
In the 1996 Census, there were 1,544,329 separate houses (71.0%), 177,796 semi detached, row or terrace houses and townhouses (8.2%), 366,367 flats, units or apartments (16.8%) and 42,647 other dwellings (2.0%).
In the 1991 Census, there were 1,460,441 separate houses (73.5%), 138,924 semi detached, row or terrace houses and townhouses (7.0%), 326,287 flats, units or apartments (16.4%) and 46,098 other dwellings (2.3%).
Of all occupied private dwellings in the 2001 Census, 1,509,426 were either fully owned or being purchased, which represents (64.4%) of all occupied private dwellings, while 645,319 (27.5%) were being rented. This compares with 1,413,619 (65.0%) either fully owned or being purchased and 620,982 (28.6%) being rented in the 1996 Census, and 1,317,288 (66.3%) either fully owned or being purchased and 537,621 (27.1%) being rented in the 1991 Census."
