PREFACE

In 2005, the ABS embarked on a project to enhance the value of Census data by bringing it together with other datasets, both ABS and non-ABS, to leverage more information from the combination of individual datasets than is available from the individual datasets separately.

The Census Data Enhancement (CDE) project improves and expands the range of official statistics available to Australian society, and improves the evidence base to support good government policy making, program management and service delivery.

This paper provides an update on the CDE project for the 2011 Census of Population and Housing.
