Cardinia Shire community profile provides demographic analysis for the Shire and its suburbs. It enables you to analyse the population characteristics of your community, understand how they have changed over time and how they compare to other areas. The profile presents data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census of Population and Housing for the local government area, and for smaller areas within it (e.g. suburbs). The data is presented in easy to use tables, charts and commentary covering a wide range of Census questions and assists Council, the general public, students, community groups, organisations, business and investors to become more informed about the community.
