Release 2 Available!
The second release of Census KeyData, a CD-ROM product developed from the 1996 Census, is scheduled for release in April. It gives clients on-demand access to a wide selection of 1996 Census data and Shapes Digital Boundaries.
Census KeyData Release 2 contains all of the data contained in Release 1 plus second release data from the Basic Community Profile and other profile data. Information can be obtained about Australia from the national to neighbourhood level- making the information useful to meet planning needs of governments, regional authorities and anyone requiring small area data.
Free access is provided to the Census Dictionary, Directory of Census Statistics, ABS Catalogue of Publications and Products, product demonstrations and sample data. Statistical data and Shapes Digital Boundary data stored on the CD-ROM are encrypted and accessible with a decryption key. This allows clients to pay only for the specific data they need as well as the flexibility to order as required.

The decrypted data can be imported directly into a wide range of spreadsheets and analytical software, including Excel and Lotus 123. Census KeyData can also be used in conjunction with the ABS' IRDB and CDATA96.
The shapes boundary data can be used with MapInfo based software products such as the mapping package contained in Excel 7 and MapInfo Desktop. CPROFILE software is provided free to enable you to view, manipulate and print data tables or export selected data items for use with your own software.
Census KeyData means you are only a few steps away from the data you need for all your research, planning and decision-making needs.
