Largest census to connect with local communities
With exactly one year to go until the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS’) Census of Population and Housing on 9 August 2011, planning is well underway for the largest peace time logistical exercise in Australia, an ABS release reported.
The Census aims to accurately measure the number of people in Australia on Census night wherever they are, from Australia’s research hubs in Antarctica to remote Indigenous communities in northern Australia.
The ABS said that next year’s Census remains the most comprehensive way of providing a snapshot of Australia, the country’s key characteristics and the population concentration.
“The Census helps define who we are and what your community looks like now and into the future. Census data supports planning, decision-making and funding at all levels of government, and is behind the services and facilities you use in your community every day,” the ABS elaborated.
The first results from the 2011 Census will be made public a year after in June 2012.
