Notes:
- Unless otherwise stated, estimates are for an average weekday. SLA and SSD estimates are rounded to the nearest thousand and sometimes may not add up, but averages and percentages are computed based on actual numbers.
- Estimates are based on a sample of households in the respective SLAs and may be subject to high standard errors. For further information, contact TDC.
- Population estimates are based on HTS estimates of those in occupied private dwellings.
- Estimates of trip purpose are based on linked trip. Trips to return home have been reallocated to the previous 'priority' purpose.
- Estimates of trip mode are based on unlinked trips except for walk trips.
- 'Walk linked' is a walk trip to change mode to other forms of transport.
- The geography is based on the 2001 Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC).
