ABS TableBuilder alternative
ABS TableBuilder is the ABS web tool for building custom Census cross-tabulations. It is free for guest use and the only way to query the full Census detail.
What ABS TableBuilder does well
- Only sanctioned way to build custom Census cross-tabs.
- Detail down to small geographic areas.
- Free for basic use.
Where ausdata.io fits better
- Our Census endpoints serve the standard pre-built tables as JSON. Faster for common queries.
- We do not replace TableBuilder for custom cross-tabs. We replace the manual download step for the headline tables.
- Joins to ATO postcode income and ABS labour series in one envelope.
How to choose
- Pick ABS TableBuilder if
- You need a custom cross-tab with rare combinations of variables.
- Pick ausdata.io if
- You need the headline Census tables in JSON for an app or model.
- Pricing
- TableBuilder: free guest, paid for advanced. ausdata.io: free up to 500 calls.
