Explanatory notesProfile explanatory notes

Area overviewStatistics in the area overview have been derived from administrative geographical boundaries and the Bureau of Meteorology.

Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS)A geographical framework covering all spatial areas of Australia and its external territories. The ASGS was developed by the ABS to allow statistics from different collections to be spatially comparable. The ASGS replaced the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC).

Average annual growth rateIt is calculated as a percentage using the formula below, where Po is the population at the start of the period, Pn is the population at the end of the period and n is the length of the period between Pn and Po in years.

For example, to calculate the average annual rate of population change from 2006 to 2016, n is ten, Po is the population in 2006 and Pn is the population in 2016.

Cell confidentialisationThis profile utilises two types of data confidentialisation. 1. Source data confidentialisation - This refers to datasets that have been confidentialised by the data custodians. For example

census data supplied by the ABS have small cell counts of 1 or 2 confidentialised to 0 or 3 and a small random adjustment made to all data to avoid any risk of releasing identifiable information. Caution should therefore be used when interpreting data where the cell count is small.

2. Concordance confidentialisation - This refers to datasets that have been concorded to a new geography and the resulting cell count is small. No reliance should be placed on these cell counts and as such have been confidentialised. Tables utilising this type of confidentialisation will report the cell as less than a specific value (for example <5).

Census 2011 dataCensus data have 'small random adjustments' to ensure no data are released which could risk identifying individuals. As such, cells containing very small counts should be treated with extreme caution. Therefore discrepancies may occur between the sums of the component items and total.

Census 2016 dataCensus data have 'small random adjustments' to ensure no data are released which could risk identifying individuals. As such, cells containing very small counts should be treated with extreme caution. Therefore discrepancies may occur between the sums of the component items and total.

Census undercountDue to the size and complexity of the Census of Population and Housing, whenever a Census is conducted it is inevitable that some people will be missed and some will be counted more than once. After each Census, the Australian Bureau of Statistics conduct a Post Enumeration Survey to estimate the number of people who should have been counted in the Census and the actual Census counts. It is important to note, that all Census data reported in this profile do not have any adjustments made for Census undercount and readers should keep this in mind when making inferences from the data.


Concordances and concorded dataA concordance, in statistical terms, is a product that allows a user to convert data from one geographical region (under which data have been collected) to a new geographical region. In order to convert data from one geographical boundary to another, each region in the new boundary is assigned percentages of data from the old regions. These percentages in the concordance can be constructed using any number of variables. This profile utilises a population-based concordance (estimated resident population) at a specific point in time (2016 preliminary estimates). This type of concordance is useful when concording demography-based datasets such as labour force and family composition on a usual resident basis with time periods at or around 2016. It does not work as well when concording data on different counting methods (such as counts by place of work), non–population based datasets (such as business counts), or datasets collected at different time periods (such as data collected in 2006). Caution should therefore be used when interpretingnon-resident based datasets that have been concorded.

One major assumption that is necessary when concording data is that the data (for example unemployed persons) are proportionately distributed across the region the same as total resident population (as total resident population is the variable used to derive the percentage splits). In some cases, this assumption will not be entirely correct. In the example of unemployed persons, within the region there may be more concentrated areas with a larger proportion of unemployed persons. This assumption should therefore be considered when interpreting datasets that have been concorded.

Police DistrictPolice Districts (2013) are administration boundaries used by Queensland Police. There are 15 Police Districts that cover the state.

Police DivisionPolice Divisions (2013) are the lowest level administration boundaries used by Queensland Police. There are 335 Police Divisions that cover the state.

Police RegionPolice Regions (2013) are administration boundaries used by Queensland Police. There are 5 Police Regions that cover the state.

RoundingFigures are rounded to nearest whole number. Calculations (such as percentages and rates) are based on pre-rounded figures.

Specialisation ratioThe ratio of the percentage for the Wide Bay Burnett Police District to the percentage for Central Police Region. A specialisation ratio above 1.00 indicates Wide Bay Burnett Police District has a larger share for that category than in Central Police Region. Similarly a specialisation ratio below 1.00 indicates Wide Bay Burnett Police District has a smaller share for that category than in Central Police Region.

Topic explanatory notes

Country of birthThe list of countries are based on the most common Country of Birth responses (excluding Australia) reported in the 2011 Census. The categories of persons born in ESB and NESB countries are derived by aggregating countries from Table G09 of the General Community Profile (GCP). Due to the process of confidentialisation applied to the Census data by the ABS, total persons born overseas have been taken directly from Table G01 of the GCP to provide a more accurate count.

Employment by industry

Employment by industryBased on Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 edition.

Industry subdivisionThe industry subdivision refers to the 2-digit industry classification from the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 edition.

Employment by occupation

Employment by occupationBased on Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO), 2006 edition (Revision 1).

Occupation sub-major groupThe occupation sub-major group refers to the 2-digit occupation classification from the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO), 2006 edition (Revision 1).

IndigenousRefers to people who identify themselves as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin.


Median ageMedian estimates have been calculated by the ABS and Queensland Treasury.

Population projectionsPopulation projections are based on a medium series.

Proficiency in spoken EnglishBased on the most common Language Spoken at Home responses reported in the 2011 Census for Australia.

Reported offencesThe reference date for reported offences is the date an offence is reported to or detected by police. Data are based on the location in which the offence occurred. Rates are calculated using the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) as at 30 June of the reported financial year. The ERP for the latest year has been linearly extrapolated using the change between the previous two years.

Offences against the personThe offence division of offences against the person includes the following offence sub-divisions: homicide (murder); other homicide; assault; sexual offences; robbery; and other offences against the person.

Offences against propertyThe offence division of offences against property includes the following offence sub-divisions: unlawful entry with intent; arson; other property damage; unlawful use of motor vehicle; other theft (excluding unlawful entry); fraud; and handling stolen goods.

Other offencesThe offence division of other offences includes the following offence sub-divisions: drug offences; prostitution offences; liquor (excluding drunkenness); gaming, racing and betting offences; breach of domestic violence protection orders; trespassing and vagrancy; weapons act offences; good order offences; stock related offences; traffic and related offences; and miscellaneous offences.

Total family incomeMedian total family income estimates have been calculated by Queensland Treasury using income data provided by the ABS. Medians are only calculated where there were five or more total families. Median calculation excludes families where at least one member aged 15 years and over did not state an income and families where at least one member aged 15 years and over was temporarily absent on Census Night.

Unemployment and labour forceSmall Area Labour Force data have been generated from a Structure Preserving Estimation (SPREE) methodology using ABS and Centrelink data. As such these estimates can exhibit considerable variability and care should be taken when interpreting these values. For further information on these data, refer to the Australian Government Department of Employment website.
