17.3 Table Changes
This census is part of a series that, taken together, can indicate larger trends not apparent in individual censuses. Ideally the data collected and analysed comes from identical questions with identical interpretations and methods of summary from one year to the next. However every census sees some change in the material collected and analysed. A summary of the differences between this (2003) census and the previous census (2001) is given below.
