Shedding some light on Census night

Tonight, Australia held its five-yearly Census of Population and Housing. 29,000 Census Collectors delivered approximately 14.2 million Census forms to Australia’s 9.8 million households.

About 30 per cent of the population are expected to complete their Census forms online through eCensus.

The first results of the 2011 Census are planned for release in June 2012.
