Message from Chairperson, Victorian Multicultural Commission

The valuable knowledge and skills of Victoria's immigrants have helped to broaden our understanding of the world and have made Victoria the cosmopolitan and vibrant state it is today. At the 2006 Census, Victorians were born in over 200 countries, spoke over 200 languages and dialects, followed more than 130 religions and were identified with over 200 ancestries; 43.8 per cent of Victorians were either born overseas or have at least one parent born overseas.

I am pleased to introduce the Victorian Community Profiles Series: 2006 Census, for the top 74 overseas birthplace groups or communities in Victoria. Each profile consists of a series of 30 tables providing a range of socio-economic and demographic data compared across Local Government Areas. The Community Profiles complement our recent publication on Population Diversity in Local Councils in Victoria: 2006 Census. These publications assist in the development of policies and in the planning and delivery of culturally appropriate and accessible services based on information about the size, geographic location, demographic and socio-economic characteristics of our diverse communities. We are committed to improving access and equity and ensuring that government policies and strategies are responsive to all Victorians. This includes strengthening rural, regional and urban communities and planning for the needs of our changing population at all stages of life. The production of the Community Profiles series, the enactment of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001, the Multicultural Victoria Act 2004 and the Whole-of-Government approach to Multicultural Affairs are reflective of the Government's vision for Victoria, one that is a vibrant society that embraces diversity and welcomes the full participation of all of its members.

NOTES ON THE DATA The following notes relate to the Birthplace community profiles, and detail some important considerations regarding the classifications used and comparability issues between censuses. For more general information about what is collected in the Census, and the meaning of various categories, please see Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census Dictionary, 2006 (Cat no. 2901.0) on the ABS Website www.abs.gov.au. Terminology Note that in the descriptions below, “nfd” stands for “Not Further Defined”, and “nec” stands for “Not Elsewhere Classified”. Birthplace Groups All birthplace groups are defined as per the “Country of Birth of Individual” classification in the Census Dictionary, with the exception that: The 2006 birthplace classification was changed to include Serbia and Montenegro as separate states to recognize the official split which occurred in June 2006. This means that while data are available for these countries separately in 2006, it is necessary to combine the two to provide any meaningful information for time series comparisons. In addition, a number of respondents to the Census continue to state their birthplace as “Yugoslavia”. Since this nation did not exist in 2006, a large number of people had their birthplace coded to the category “South Eastern Europe, not further defined”. It is expected that most of the persons in this group were born in the former Republic of Yugoslavia, but some other responses were also coded to the group. As a best match, this category has been combined along with Serbia and Montenegro to form the birthplace “Former Yugoslavia”, enabling time series statistics to be produced. In summary: - ‘Former Yugoslavia’ in 2006 includes “Serbia”, “Montenegro” and “South Eastern Europe

not further defined”; - ‘Former Yugoslavia’ in 2001 includes “Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of”, and “South

Eastern Europe nfd”; and - ‘Former Yugoslavia’ in 1996 includes “Former Yugoslav Republic of Serbia & Montenegro”

and “Former Yugoslavia nfd”. These categories are not completely comparable but they are the closest to comparability dueto the changes to country names and classification in the former Yugoslavia. Confidentiality and Introduced Random Error The ABS takes steps to ensure that no data on individuals can be identified using a cross-classified table. ABS is required by the Census and Statistics Act, 1905 to protect confidentiality. For this reason, tables are “Perturbed” by the introduction of small random errors. These errors are statistically insignificant, but users may notice that populations for particular groups vary slightly between tables due to this practice. For more information on confidentiality and introduced random error, refer to the Census Dictionary.

Local Government Areas Local Government Areas are assumed to be identical in geographic extent between 2001 and 2006. There have been some minor boundary changes, but the population impact of these is negligible. The only exception is Delatite (S) which existed in 2001. For 2006 it was split into Mansfield (S) and Benalla (RC). These two councils have been recombined for tables containing time series (eg. Tables 2 and 3 in the Community Profiles) to afford a comparison between the two years. For tables not containing time series, they are treated as separate entries. Delatite does not feature in the top 20 LGAs for any birthplace group, so the impact on data is negligible. Local Government Area Rankings For tables sorted by the top 10 Local Government Areas (LGAs) for a particular birthplace, the rankings are based on the true table population for that birthplace, derived from the non cross-classified table in Table 3 on the number of birthplace-born by top twenty LGAs. The ranking of LGAs is preserved throughout the profile for each birthplace to provide consistency for the reader. As LGA rankings are based on the size of the total population of a particular birthplace group, for tables based on smaller sub-populations, eg. persons aged 15+ (Tables 17, 25 and 27) or employed persons (Tables 21 and 23), the table population for the ranked LGAs may not appear in strictly descending order. For instance, an LGA with 5,000 China-born will rank above an LGA with 4,000 China-born, but it is quite possible (probably due to age structure of the population) for the LGA containing 5,000 to only have, say 2,000 employed while the LGA of 4,000 China-born has 2,500 employed. Rankings are preserved throughout the profile based on the order in Table 3. In addition, even for tables based on the same population, LGA ranks may appear slightly out of order due to data perturbation to protect confidentiality in cross-classified tables (see above). LGA totals in other tables may differ slightly from those in Table 3. In these cases, thetotal table population for a particular LGA may appear slightly lower than for a lower-ranked LGA in the same table. This will only occur where population numbers in the two LGAs are very close to begin with, and the effect is not statistically significant. Ancestry All ancestry groups are defined as per the Census dictionary, with the exception that some ancestry groups have been combined to form a single ancestry category. This has generally occurred where there are multiple ancestries associated with a particular country (eg. New Zealand ancestry includes New Zealand and Maori). There are 8 birthplace groups where multiple ancestries have been combined. They are New Zealand, India, Canada, USA, Laos, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Pakistan. Note that for the Community Profiles, ancestry counts Total Responses of a particular ancestry. This means that for those ancestry groups consisting of more than one component ancestry (see above), some people may be double-counted. For example, responses of “Indian”, “Anglo-Indian”, and “Gujerati” are all included under the ancestry group “Indian”. If a person responded with “Indian” as their first response, and “Gujerati” as their second, they would be counted twice in this table. This effect is expected to be minimal, and will not affect the statistical validity of the table.

Language Languages defined are based on the ABS Australian Standard Classification of Languages (ASCL), 1997 (Cat no. 1267.0). For the community profiles, the language tables do not have a time series component, so all languages are based on the complete set used in the ASCL in 2006. As the languages identified for the community profiles are derived from raw data tables featuring the top 100 languages spoken at home in Victoria, for some birthplace groups, languages in their top 10 will include languages outside the top 100 in Victoria. Because these were not included separately in the raw data tables, they cannot be shown in the language table in question, but will be included in “Other Languages”. Hence the “top 10” is not necessarily a complete top 10 for every birthplace group. For Table 9 on Languages Spoken at Home, where there are less than 10 languages with speakers for a particular birthplace, some lines in the table may be blank. Note that due to the “Other languages” issue above, in this case there may still be some residual population in the “Other languages” row. Religion Religions are based on the ABS Australian Standard Classification of Religious Groups (ASCRG), 2005. (Cat no. 1266.0) For the community profiles, the religion tables do not have a time series component, so all religions are based on the complete set used in the ASCRG in 2006. For Table 13 on Religious Affiliation, where there are less than 10 religions represented in the population numbers for a particular birthplace group, some lines in the table may be left blank. Proficiency in English Note that this is a self-assessment by the respondent. Labour Force Status Tables 18 and 19 relate to Labour Force Status. Labour force status applies only to persons aged 15 years and over. The ‘Not Applicable’ category counts all persons aged less than 15 years. Note that the unemployment rate derived from the Census is not identical to that derived from ABS’s Monthly Population Survey. There are various differences in scope and collection methodology as explained on the ABS website. Industry Tables 22 and 23 relate to industry of employed persons only. Industry is coded using the new ABS Australian and New Zealand Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 edition (Cat no. 1292.0). There are 19 industry divisions in this classification. Some of these divisions have been combined to provide a more succinct table structure:

• Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing have been combined with Mining; • Wholesale Trade and Retail Trade have been combined; • Finance & Insurance has been combined with Rental, Hiring and Real Estate in Table

23 only; • Professional, Scientific and Technical Services have been combined with

Administrative and Support Services; • Education and Training has been combined with Health Care & Social Assistance for

Table 23 only; and • Arts & Recreation Services has been combined with Other Services.

For more information on industry coding, refer to the ANZSIC. Occupation Tables 20 and 21 relate to the occupation of employed persons only. Occupation data are coded using the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) (Cat no 1221.0), and relate to the occupation of employed persons only. There are8 ANZSCO major groups.
