Queensland statistics
Welcome to the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO) website. This site contains a wide range of demographic, economic and social data relating to the State of Queensland, as well as information about using statistics and the services we provide.
The Bowen Basin and Surat Basin population reports provide estimates of the number of fly in/fly out and drive in/drive out (FIFO/DIDO) workers living in these regions during the last week of June 2017, and their use of commercial accommodation. This information is based on data collected by Queensland Government Statistician’s Office in 2017.
Data tables are also available for download in Excel format.
Non–resident population projections for these regions are also available.
The resource communities research program outputs contain information about FIFO/DIDO workers by local government areas (LGA) in each of the resource regions. If you are looking for detailed statistics about usual residents of these regions, data by LGA and customised SA2 regions can be found in the Queensland Regional Database. Please note that resource regions defined by SA2 will differ from those defined by LGA boundaries.
