Collection and usage attributes | |
Comments: | The purpose of a Statistical area level 2 (SA2) is to represent a community that interacts together socially and economically. SA2s are generally the smallest areas used for the release of ABS non-Census of Population and Housing statistics, including Estimated Resident Population and Health and Vitals data. Whole SA2s aggregate to form Statistical Area Level 3s (SA3s). SA2s are also used to build Significant Urban Areas and to approximate Tourism Regions. |
