Data Questions
Where do you get your data from?
We source our data from three sources:
• Address data is gathered from the Australia Post Proof Address File (PAF) and the Geocoded National Address File (GNAF)
• Demographic data is sourced from the ABS 2021 Census
How often is the data updated?
How often is the data updated? Address data is updated every 3 months and the demographic data every 4 years.
How accurate is your data?
How accurate is your data? Address data accuracy can vary based on location, but in general the data is very accurate. In some new growth areas or greenfield sites there can be a lag in updating address data between the time that a titled lot is created and when someone actually moves in. Demographic data is derived from the ABS Census and represents a snapshot of those who returned the ABS survey, and the date it was taken (2021).
Why are some demographics missing from my map report?
In some ABS SA1 collection areas, there is not enough data collected for some demographics to make it statistically relevant to include in the data set. This is typically the case in more remote areas where there are very sample sizes.
Mapping Questions

Given the enormous amount of data being cross matched there is a limit to the size of the map that you can create.
While it map vary in some areas, the maximum size of a map area is approximately 60,000 dwellings.

Can I upload my own KML file?

Can I edit LGA maps?
