Variable Reference
This page lists every valid value for each of the nine profiling variables. When your CSV values match these exactly (case-sensitive), scoring is fastest and most accurate. Values that do not match are mapped to Not stated.
Each variable also accepts raw ABS Census labels, listed in the "ABS equivalents" column. You do not need to pre-map your data if it already uses ABS labels.
