Abstract

In this data visualisation we use the 2011-2016 Australian Census Longitudinal Dataset (ACLD) to examine how answers to the question on religious affiliation changed between 2011 and 2016. A question on religious affiliation has been included in every census since the first national census of 1911. It is the only question in the census which is optional, as outlined in the Census and Statistics Act 1905, and it is also the question that has arguably attracted the most controversy over the years.
