TABLEBUILDER BASIC

What is it?

TableBuilder Basic allows users to build their own tables from a range of Census variables. Users can access Census data for most topics including age, education, housing, income, transport, religion, ethnicity, occupation and more, from small areas such as Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) to the whole of Australia. Users can also view and export data in a variety of graphs and maps.

TableBuilder Basic is a free product.

Who is it for?

TableBuilder Basic is designed for clients with some experience using Census data and skills in constructing basic data tables. However, there are self-help tutorials available on the ABS website to guide first time users.
