Search area-statistics fields
/v1/area-stats/fieldsFreeDiscover which statistical fields exist. Free (0c). Fuzzy, token-based
matching covers table topics and clean column labels as well as terse field
codes. Common natural-language plurals and Census synonyms are handled, so
the verbatim query=couples with children discovers the exact 2021 ABS
family-composition count fields rather than substituting the broader
census_family_households metric. Use the returned field code(s) with the
priced /area-stats/SAL/{suburb}/values route. ~17k fields available.
Free.
Every census statistic — from median rent to how many people cycle to work — for every Australian geography: suburb, postcode, LGA, SA1–SA4, state and more. Search the whole catalogue live:
Free to search. Copy a field_code into the fields parameter below to fetch its value for any region.
