  • Data and documentation in a single downloadable zip file (contains the data use license agreement, all documentation and the 2011-2012 Area Resource File in ASCII format)
  • MS Access Database version in a single downloadable .zip file (contains the data use license agreement and MS Access installer for the Area Resource Data).

Note: ARF Users, please be aware that on the 2008 and 2009-10 ARF ASCII files, the 2001 population estimate (field F1198401) was incorrect. This affects only the ASCII file, not the ARF Access for those two years. Values for this variable are correct for all other versions of the ARF, including the current.
