Fraser Coast HSD - Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Population Profile Census 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. Not stated categories have also been excluded. This is the second in a series of census data factsheets prepared by Central 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 factsheet 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.

The reporting areas used in these census derived fact sheets are the standard geographic areas (aggregated SLAs or CDs) to be used for the Queensland Health reporting of any District data derived from census 2001. Unless otherwise noted, these areas will be used in all subsequent census fact sheets prepared by Central Public Health Unit Network. Note: The ABS randomises demographic cell entries of three persons or less to either three or zero. This leads to inconsistencies when some areas or data entries are aggregated.
