Suburb - Ethnicity

All ethnicity — bundle

Cultural make-up of the suburb from the census: ancestry breakdown and country of birth, each as a share of residents.

Useful for understanding who a suburb's buyers and renters are. The map version, which splits these by mesh block, is a separate call.

Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.

Price: 6¢ per call.
