This dataset contains a snapshot of commuting patterns for Census day 2006 (Tuesday 8th August). It is a complete enumeration via a self-completion Census form.
The scope of Journey to Work (JTW) 2006 is employed persons aged 15 years and over, who were employed the week before Census night, and with a workplace in NSW.
JTW data may produce slightly different counts to those obtained directly from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for the same geographic level due to:
ABS confidentialising process is applied to the data that Transport Performance and Analytics (TPA) purchases (randomisation of small cells)
Further validation and adjustment of the data undertaken by Transport Performance and Analytics TPA
Imputation of records of incomplete addresses to eliminate locality ‘dump’ codes
