Census and Australian Bureau of Statistics
For the purposes of statistical geography, the Australian Bureau of Statistics uses the Australian Standard Geographical Classification, a hierarchical regionalisation that divides Western Australia into statistical divisions, then statistical subdivisions, statistical local areas, and finally, census collection districts.
Statistical Divisions include:
- SD 505 - Perth
- SD 510 - South West
- SD 515 - Lower Great Southern
- SD 520 - Upper Great Southern
- SD 525 - Midlands
- SD 530 - South Eastern
- SD 535 - Central
- SD 540 - Pilbara
- SD 545 - Kimberley
The ABS produces Regional profiles for the nine ABS Statistical Divisions, and the ten Development Commission regions.
