GROSS IMPUTED RENT STRATA ON THE MAIN UNIT RECORD FILE AND CONFIDENTIALISED UNIT RECORD FILES
The ABS’s internal Main Unit Record File (MURF) uses the most comprehensive stratification for producing the new experimental gross imputed rent estimates for households. For each of the six Australian states, there was sufficient sample to create 100 strata (table A1), for the two Australian territories, there was insufficient sample to use the detailed Section of State classification. Two groupings were used for the Northern Territory resulting in 70 strata (table A2) and for the Australian Capital Territory there was only one grouping, resulting in 55 strata (table A3).
Detailed geographical location of individual records is not included on the Basic and Expanded Confidentialised Unit Record Files (CURFs). Therefore, the gross imputed rent estimates based on the new methodology for these files only use data available on the respective CURFs. Analysts can use this information to recompile the gross imputed rent on the CURFs for 2003–04 to 2011–12 (tables B1 and B2).
