One concordance lists the proportion of people in each Local Government Area (LGA) that fall within each Commonwealth electoral division while the other concordance lists the proportion of people in each Statistical Local Area (SLA) that fall within each Commonwealth electoral division. The concordances are base d on the 2010 edition of the Australian Standard Geographic Classification (ASGC) as published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).1 The concordances incorporate the current electoral boundaries, i.e. those in force at the federal election of August 2010. The concordances were generated by processing the 2006 Census population figures for Census Collection Districts (CCDs). Each CCD was allocated to the relevant SLA, LGA and electoral division of best fit. LGA and SLA nam es are not unique across states and territories thus a one digit state code is concatenated with the four digit ASGC code for either the SLA or LGA to create a unique 5 digit code in the accompanying tables. Each LGA comprises one or more whole SLAs thus the two conco rdances are closely related. The two concordances enable statistical information published on a SLA or LGA basis, by organisations such as the ABS, to be converted into electoral division totals. For example the population of the LGA ‘Auburn (C)’ lies 76.8 per cent in the Reid division and 23.2 per cen t in the Blaxland division. Since the SLA of ‘Auburn (C)’ is the same area as the LGA of ‘Auburn (C)’, the same
