What Geographic Correspondences (Concordances) does the ABS intend to prepare for the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS)?
Correspondence files (concordances) are used to transfer data from one geography to another. The ABS will prepare a wide range of correspondences to assist with conversion to the ASGS. After the 2011 Census of Population and Housing, correspondences will be built using Mesh Blocks with 2011 Census counts and will therefore be simpler and more accurate than those the ABS currently produces. The following is a list of the key correspondences that will be available free of charge. The list is not complete, and additional correspondences may be produced if they are required.
