Repo containing sql scripts, links to source and processed data for census 2021 data dissemination. Source data is imported into a PostgresSQL database with PostGIS, and tablefunc extension. Then it is processed and attached with census boundaries exported into GeoPackage for GIS use.
Census Profile data is released in stages, and is downloaded to be processed when new data becomes available.
You can find the download page here.
Release schedule can be found here.
Scripts are stored in the script folder in GitHub whereas source / processed data is stored on OneDrive.
