In its publication Australian Demographic Statistics (catalogue no. 3101.0), the Australian Bureau of Statistics, describes intercensal discrepancy as 'the difference between two estimates at 30 June of a census year population: the first based on the last census, and the second arrived at by updating the 30 June estimates on the previous census date estimate with intercensal components of population change which take account of information available from the latest census'.

3. The 2001 to 2006 migration data exclude persons aged under five years at the 2006 census, persons who did not state their usual residence in 2001, those who stated that they had no usual residence in 2001, and those who stated they had no usual residence in 2006. Migration data at statistical division (SD) level also exclude those whose usual residence in 2006 was 'undefined Queensland'. It should be noted that, for some migration flows, there may be large numbers of persons in these categories who cannot be included in the analysis.
