Electoral division rankings: 2006 Census (2009 electoral boundaries)

This research paper provides an analysis by Commonwealth electoral division of socio-demographic data from the 2006 Census of Population and Housing. The electoral boundaries used in this paper are the boundaries that will be used in the upcoming federal election expected later this year. These boundaries incorporate the recent redistributions in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania. This paper is an updated version of an earlier paper that was based on the 2006 electoral division boundaries. The 60 separate tables in this research paper cover a broad range of census topics and broadly reflect the items frequently requested from the Parliamentary Library. The main features section of the paper describes how to interpret the tables and contains an overview of some interesting points from some of the tables
