Current, accurate digital Australian Postcode Areas enriched with a comprehensive range of popular data from the 2006 Census

If you are a return visitor, please refresh your browser, as our site content is regularly updated. Thank you for dropping in!

The default range of Census 2006 data fields contained in our Enhanced Postcode GIS Data Series are listed in this table.

Our Postcode products are described fully on a separate page. If you are seeking general information about our Postcode products, you will find it there. This page provides details, illustrations and prices relating exclusively to the Enhanced Postcode GIS Data Series. This newly released up-to-date Postcode area GIS data series is enriched with over 250 fully proportioned attributes from Collector District level data from the 2006 Census.

The product and price list can be found below. Please be sure to specify which format you would like your data supplied as; typical formats are shown here, but we can supply in most formats (please take note of the database field limitations which may be relevant for some formats).

To place an order, you can either use the shopping cart on this page adjacent to the product list, or complete and submit the enquiry form specifying your requirements.

Avg Monthly Hshl Inc After Mortage PC.JPG (152554 bytes)  

NSW and the ACT gross (before tax) household monthly income for each postcode (not all values shown in order to maintain clarity). Is your budget more likely to be in the red, or in the black?

These dollar values are for Census night 2006, before the recent "financial crisis". Using your GIS you would be able to factor in interest rate changes, wage growth and other parameters as required.

Mortgage Stress Legend.JPG (21661 bytes)

Avg Monthly Hshl Inc After Mortage Metro Sydney PC.JPG (146925 bytes) A zoomed in view of metropolitan Sydney.
Pct Dwellings Mortgaged.JPG (100735 bytes) This image shows a calculation of the percentage of all dwellings in each postcode which were being purchased under a mortgage agreement on Census night.
Pct Dwellings Owned Outright.JPG (100653 bytes) By contrast, this is the percentage of all dwellings in each postcode which were fully owned on Census night.

The data required to make similar maps for rented and public housing stock are included in the product.

Pct Workforce Seeking Work.JPG (140877 bytes) Of the working population in each postcode area, this map presents the percentage actively seeking employment on Census night.

If you are a business looking for a site for a new labour intensive factory, analyses presenting labour availability would be a sound investment.

Additional data to refine such a task, including population figures for different age groups of males and females, school levels completed, educational qualifications, skill categories and languages spoken are included in the product.

Number of Internet Connections 2.JPG (144968 bytes) NSW and the ACT wired!

For the first time, Census 2006 collected information on the presence and type of Internet connection in homes.

This map shows the total number of Internet connections in each postcode area.

Number of Internet Connections Legend.JPG (18000 bytes)

Number of Internet Connections Sydney.JPG (161760 bytes) The same information zoomed in for metropolitan Sydney.
Internet Ratio.JPG (141431 bytes) Another way of looking at the information is to calculate the ratio of Internet connections to number of dwellings.

The closer the number is to "1" the more likely it is that dwellings in that postcode will have an Internet connection.

One could use this kind of information to assist in planning rollout priority for new infrastructure, for example.

Internet Ratio Legend.JPG (18681 bytes)

Internet Ratio Sydney.JPG (160557 bytes) The same information for metropolitan Sydney.
Population Density NSW.JPG (144840 bytes) If all the statistics confirming the pressures of modern life are thriving in your postcode and you feel a "sea change" beckons, here's a peace and quiet map!

Population density in other words. This is the number of people per km˛ in each postcode area.

Population Density Sydney.JPG (157177 bytes) While this map shows the total number of people per km˛ regardless of age or sex, you can use the product to generate custom demographics, such as the population density of women between the ages of 25 and 54 shown below.
Target3D.jpg (58520 bytes) The demographic has been exported for display in Google Earth. The "higher" the postcode above the surface, the greater the population density for the group in that postcode area. The colours are formatted on the actual number of the group in each postcode, red (low) through green (high). Combining the two views illustrates some interesting patterns, where for example absolute numbers are low, but density is high (the red and yellow medium height "skyscrapers" in central Sydney). Click the image to see more examples.

Please note, this product is not suitable for direct use in Google Earth, owing to very limited data field capacity in that application. This example was processed entirely in a GIS and then exported in the limited format required by GE. The product range for use in GE is the standard .DAT range which can be found here.

The product series is available separately for each State / Territory, or as a discounted compilation for Australia. The price is based on the Postcode GIS Data Series product plus 25%. Prices shown exclude GST.

The different types of Licence available for these products are described on our main Postcode page here.

 Custom Postcode Ranges for Census Enhanced Data Products

This option allows you to pick and choose Postcode Areas from anywhere in Australia to meet your specific business needs. This may be of particular interest if your area of operation is confined to a region, a city or two, or just a single Postcode.

How it works. Send an e-mail to Sales including an attached spreadsheet or database table listing each postcode required and ideally its State or Territory as a separate column. Also please specify your required data format (if it is not listed in the third column of the table below, we can almost certainly produce it, please contact us for more information). The State or Territory may be required as some Postcodes can and do legitimately occur in more than one State / Territory. If you prefer not to include a State or Territory in your list, you will receive all Postcode Areas with that designation, so you may receive more Postcode Areas than there are unique postcodes in your original list. Your custom postcode areas will be supplied as an encrypted executable file, requiring pre-payment for release of your encryption key.

If you require a custom map based on your selection, our Custom Mapping Service is available to you.

Owing to the unique nature of this option, our Postcode Update Service is not available. The only licensing option is Organisational.

Number of Postcode Areas Required

Price per Postcode Area (+ GST if applicable)

Available default formats

First Postcode Area $37.50 ESRI .shp

MapInfo Mif/Mid

Second to tenth Postcode Area $18.75
Eleventh to fiftieth Postcode Area $10
Fifty first and additional Postcode Areas $5

Default Census 2006 Data Fields in MapMakers Enhanced Postcode GIS Data Product range.

Please note the field names in our GIS data are composites of the rather cryptic Census originals plus a useful description.

VERY IMPORTANT. Some GIS software use database structures with character limits on field names and / or limits on number of data fields. When we export to such formats, field names may be trimmed. This will always maintain the Census column reference, however you should be prepared for this possibility and plan to manually update or rename fields to meet your own requirements. The table below will remain a handy reference for affected users. If your GIS has a limit on number of data fields (250 for some) we can split the data to overcome such limits, please contact sales if you are unsure how to proceed.
