Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2001 Census of Population and Housing and City of Greater Geelong. Refers to an “as
enumerated” population count (counted at home on Census night). * Note: Collection district boundary realignment since the 1996 Census
has occurred that may result in differences between previously published figures, and some collection district boundaries were realigned to
coincide with State Government legal suburb boundaries. The area known as Chilwell is now included in the suburb of Newtown. n.a. Not
Available.
