| Note: Estimates for 2007 to 2011 are preliminary rebased, based on the results of the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. Estimates for 2012 are preliminary. In previous compilations of this spreadsheet, estimates up to 2006 were final. However, due to a major change in the methodology used by the ABS to estimate Census undercount, the ABS will release a revised ERP series from 1991 to 2011 for SA2, SA3 and SA4 geographies constrained to the revised Queensland ERP series recast back to 1991. Final estimates for these years will be released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on 30 August 2013. |
