| This site is a major compilation of statistics on people's origins, the languages they speak, their English proficiency and the religions they practice.
By clicking on one of the links (below) you will be presented with information that has been organised into a number of sections.
Sections 1 and 2 are a series of overview tables and graphics that highlight a number of important demographic and social issues for Australia and Western Australia.
This includes identifying our emerging communities, finding out where different groups of migrants have chosen to settle and the differing countries of origin for people sharing the same ancestry.
The remaining sections comprise a detailed statistical profile for every Local Government Area in Western Australia. At a minimum these profiles contain a list of summary indicators
for the area plus statistics on birthplace, religion and ancestry. For the more urbanised Local Government Areas these statistics are supplemented with statistics on language, birthplace by age and English proficiency by age.
Finally, an important feature of this data and one that makes it particularly useful for planners, community leaders and service-providers is that unlike most other Census products the
information presented is derived from usual residence data rather than place of enumeration data.
ERRATUM
The use of the acronym FYROM in ‘The People of Western Australia: Statistics from 2001 Census’ published in 2003 is no longer appropriate.
The temporary measure for referring to this birthplace group pending resolution of the nomenclature issue between governments in Athens and Skopje, should read in full “Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”.
If quoting from this publication, references to the acronym FYROM should be replaced with “Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”.
