A census metropolitan area (CMA) or a census agglomeration (CA) is formed by one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a population centre (known as the core). A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more must live in the core based on adjusted data from the previous Census of Population Program.
What is a census? A census is the official counting of the size and characteristics of the population, for social analysis and government planning. A census was first conducted in Victoria in 1854 and the first national census was taken in 1911. Since 1961, a census has been taken every five years. Aboriginal people were not officially included in the national census until 1971.
