CHANGES SINCE THE 2006 PES
As a result of the continual improvements made in PES processing methodology, an increased focus on Indigenous population estimates, and geographical changes that have been implemented by the Census, the following three key changes have been implemented in the 2011 PES:
- Automated Data Linking has been introduced, to complement the existing PES Match and Search System;
- the PES sample has been expanded, to incorporate an increased focus on enumeration of discrete Indigenous communities and focused sampling in parts of the mainstream sample for which there is a relatively high proportion of Indigenous persons; and
- the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) has replaced the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) as the framework for PES geography.
Further information on each of these changes is outlined later in this information paper.
