The values were observed in 2021. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources 2021 Census General Community Profile, SUA, G02 — https://www.abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/datapacks/download/2021_GCP_SUA_for_AUS_short-header.zip ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
