What do we know about how Australia is changing?
19/06/2017
The first round of 2016 Census information has already been released on the 11th of April this year. This initial release of data provided a basic overview of the ‘typical’ Australian and a few personas for each state.
What we know so far is that the ‘typical’ Australian is now a 38-year-old female living with her husband and two children in a three-bedroom mortgaged home. A full view of these profiles can be found on the ABS website.
At Data Hatch we are more exited by the next few releases of the data and what can then be deduced from knowing how the country has changed since 2011. Things such as the Australia population growth, employment changes and subsequent earnings, transportation preferences and family blending.
The 2016 Census Release Schedule is coming soon”
Data Hatch will be making sure to dive in and explore the data as soon as its released and will share any valuable insights in future posts.
