This research paper provides an analysis by Commonwealth electoral division of socio-demographic data from the second release of the 2006 Census of Population and Housing. The electoral boundaries used in this paper are the current boundaries used at the 2007 federal election.

This paper is an updated version of an earlier paper that was based on the first release of the 2006 census. It now includes tables covering the additional second release census data on the labour force, employment, occupation and education. The 60 separate tables in this research paper cover a broad range of census topics and broadly reflect the items most frequently requested from the Parliamentary Library.
