More information
Data for 2012 CEDs may differ significantly from data based on 2011 CEDs. This is due to the following factors:
- Changes in physical CED boundaries within Victoria and South Australia since the 2011 Census, due to redistribution.
- Reallocation of usual resident population data between CEDs, based on 2011 Census population counts.
