West Moreton HSD - Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Population Profile 2001 Census population counts are used throughout this factsheet, rather than residential population. Census population count refers to the number of persons counted at their actual location on census night (August in 1991, 1996 and 2001), and usually includes visitors from overseas and Australian residents away from their usual residence. However in this factsheet, overseas visitors have been excluded. This is the second in a series of census data factsheets prepared by Southern Public Health Unit Network. Additional factsheets reporting 2001 census data, estimated residential population and other sociodemographic indicators have been released or will be released as data becomes available. This report includes the minimum core set of variables for reporting on cultural and language diversity plus variables from the standard set. The minimum core set is; country of birth of person, main language other than English spoken at home (MLOTESH)* and proficiency in spoken English. The fourth core indicator, Indigenous status is reported in a separate factsheet.
