National Regional Profiles
The latest version of the National Regional Profile (NRP) on the ABS web site was released on 29 March 2005. The most significant change in the NRP release is that it now has a five year time series (1999-2003, on ASGC 2003 boundaries), which will allow users to see changes in economic and social characteristics of their region during that time. Other changes in the NRP release include:
Access to the National Regional Profile facility is through the 'Regional Statistics' icon on the ABS home page. Users can use the drill-down map facility or choose their selected region's name from a pick-list.
The National Regional Profile does not include data from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing, but there are links on the NRP web pages to download the Basic Community Profile for a region of interest. Information from the Census also remains available through the 2001 Census Page on the ABS web site.
