104 The Jewish population of NSW
Appendix 2. Jewish population change from 2011 to 2016 based on SA2 area boundaries Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries are part of ABS’s ASGS boundary system. They “are designed to reflect functional areas that represent a community that interacts together socially and economically.” Whole SA2s aggregate directly to SA3s in the Main Structure. (ABS 2016 Census Dictionary page 167). The SA2 is the smallest area for the release of many ABS statistics, however, these boundaries are not necessarily commensurate with suburb boundaries people are familiar with, hence the use of SSC boundaries in the main report.
Dover Heights is the most populous SA2 with 5,505a Jews, a slight increase from 2011 (up 1.2%) (Table 62). In percentage terms, the largest increases were in Botany (46%), ‘Manly – Fairlight’ (44%), ‘Pagewood – Hillsdale – Daceyville’ (44%), Marrickville (35%) and ‘Malabar – La Perouse – Chifley’ (31%). The largest decrease in the top 50 most populous SA2 areas was St Ives (down 11%). Other areas with large percentage decreases were Lindfield – Roseville (-21%), Surry Hills (-18%), ‘Willoughby – Castle Cove – Northbridge’ (-14%) and Turramurra (-12%).
