EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1 This publication contains preliminary estimates of the resident population by age and sex in statistical local areas (SLAs) in South Australia at 30 June 2000. 2 The estimated resident population (ERP) is the official ABS estimate of the Australian population. METHODOLOGY 3 The total population of each SLA is based on results of the 1996 Population Census and calculated for post-census dates by a linear regression model which uses independent indicators of population change such as dwelling approvals, licensed drivers and medicare enrolments. These intercensal estimates of the resident population are revised each time a population census is taken. 4 The age and sex estimates were prepared using the cohort component method. Post-censal age distributions were obtained by advancing the age and sex estimates for 30 June 1996 to the next age, subtracting deaths and adding births and net estimated inter-regional and overseas migration. Inter-regional and overseas migration was estimated from analysis of arrivals and departures data and individual SLA profiles derived from the 1996 Census. More details can be provided by the ABS South Australian Office. 5 After each Census final estimates for the preceding intercensal period are calculated by incorporating an additional adjustment (intercensal discrepancy) to ensure that the total intercensal increase at each age agrees with the difference between the estimated resident population at the two respective census dates. 6 A detailed explanation of the concept of estimated resident population, as adopted by the ABS for official population estimates, is contained in the ABS Information Paper: Population Estimates: Concepts, Sources and Methods (Cat. no. 3228.0). GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES 7 The geographic areas used in this publication are defined in the Australian Standard Geographical Classification, 2000 Edition (Cat. no. 1216.0). RELIABILITY 8 All SLA estimates are shown to the nearest person, although accuracy to this level is not claimed and should not be assumed. ELECTRONIC DATA 9 The data in this publication are also available electronically. POPULATION PROJECTIONS 10 The ABS compiles and publishes Population Projections for Australia, States and Territories (Cat. no. 3222.0). 11 The ABS as part of its Statistical Consultancy Service can prepare ad hoc population projections at the SLA or higher level. The projections are based on the latest ERP by age and sex. Clients can supply their own assumptions or approve the use of ABS formulated assumptions. 12 For further details regarding electronic data or population projections contact the ABS Small Area Population Unit on 08 8237 7370.
