Welcome to the Samples of Anonymised Records (SARs) at the Cathie Marsh Centre for Census and Survey Research (CCSR).

The SARs are samples of individual records from the 1991 and 2001 Censuses. SARs from the 2011 census are highly anticipated. SARs are very large datasets that contain a wealth of information for social scientists and policy makers.
