The 2018 Census commuter view dataset contains the employed census usually resident population count aged 15 years and over by statistical area 2 for the main means of travel to work variable from the 2018 Census. The geography corresponds to 2018 boundaries.
This dataset is the base data for the ‘There and back again: our daily commute’ competition.
This 2018 Census commuter view dataset is displayed by statistical area 2 geography and contains from-to (journey) information on an individual's usual residence and workplace address* by main means of travel to work.
* Workplace address is coded from information supplied by respondents about their workplaces. Where respondents do not supply sufficient information, their responses are coded to ‘not further defined’. The 2018 Census commuter view datasets excludes these ‘not further defined’ areas, as such the sum of the counts for each region in this dataset may not be equal to the total employed census usually resident population count aged 15 years and over for that region.
It is recommended that this dataset be downloaded as either a CSV or a file geodatabase.
This dataset can be used in conjunction with the following spatial files by joining on the statistical area 2 code values:
· Statistical Area 2 2018 (generalised)
· Statistical Area 2 2018 (Centroid Inside)
