Dataset extent

Description

The 1991 Census Time Series Community profiles present key tables from the Basic and Expanded Community profiles where the data is comparable across the censuses for Local Government Areas (LGA) in Australia. These profiles are made up of 22 tables giving data for both persons and/or dwellings from the 1981, 1986 and 1991 censuses.

This table contains data relating to family type(a)(b). Counts are of all families, based on place of enumeration on census night which; includes overseas visitors; excludes Australians overseas; and excludes adjustment for under-enumeration. The data is by LGA 1991 boundaries. Periodicity: 5-Yearly.

This data is ABS data (cat. no. 2101.0 & original geographic boundary cat. no. 1261.0.30.001) used with permission from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The tabular data was processed and supplied to AURIN by the Australian Data Archives. The cleaned, high resolution 1991 geographic boundaries are available from data.gov.au.

For more information please refer to the 1991 Census Dictionary.

Please note:

  • (a) Full comparability is not possible because the definition of dependent offspring has changed. In 1986 a 'dependent family child' was aged 0-14, or 15-20 years and a full-time student, whereas in the 1991 Census, 21-24 year old offspringstudying full-time are also defined as dependents.

  • (b) Comparable 1981 Census data are not available.

  • (c) 'Other family members' comprise 'other offspring' and/or 'other related individuals'.

  • (d) In the 1986 Census sole parents with other offspring were considered as families of other related individuals only.

  • (e) In the 1986 Census it is not possible to distinguish between 'Couples and other related individuals' and 'Two parent families with no dependent offspring' because non-dependent offspring aged 15 years or more were classified as 'Other relatedindividuals'.
