Interesting. Wonder how hard it would have been to add another box underneath... or are they trying to guard against jocular census activities?

Census data is out. Biggest news so far: the percentage of self-professed Christians has dropped from 61% to 52% in just five years.

Although that decrease might have received an extra jump from the decision to move "no religion" to the top of the list, the ongoing trends make it almost certain that Australia will no longer be even nominally a majority Christian country by 2021.

No..... lots of stuff TP.
Who was the ‘typical’ Australian in 2016?
Thanks to the 2016 Census, we know that the ‘typical’ Australian is a 38 year old female. Let’s call her ‘Claire’. A decade ago, the ‘typical’ Australian would have been a year younger.
Australia’s population has changed a lot over the past 105 years – in 1911, when the first Census was taken, the ‘typical’ Aussie was a 24 year old male, but women have outnumbered men since 1979.
The ‘typical’ Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person is also female, but she’s younger: 23 years old, in fact.
Looking across the country, the Census tells us the ‘typical’ Australian male or female was born in Australia, has English ancestry and parents also born in Australia. But there are plenty of local differences. For example, a ‘typical’ person from New South Wales, Victoria or Western Australia has at least one parent who was born overseas.
Want to know more? The Census also tells us the ‘typical’ Aussie is married with two children, completed Year 12 and lives in a three bedroom house with two motor vehicles.
