Searching and Matching • If the dwelling or person is not included in the Census results - undercount has occurred • If the dwelling or person is found more than once - overcount has occurred • If the dwelling or person is counted once and once only, the Census process worked! • Rules can also exist to determine partial match for a person

9. Using the results • Put very briefly..... • The Census population count is supplemented by the Post Enumeration Results when determining the Estimated Residential Population • When determining the Estimated Residential Population in Australia, we take into account: • Australian residents temporarily overseas • Residents from other countries temporarily in Australia • Post Enumeration Results • Births and Deaths • These are used to determine the Estimated Residential Population.
