Jobs per space use for blocks

Information Table Analyze Export API

Data collected as part of the City of Melbourne's Census of Land Use and Employment (CLUE). The data covers the period 2002-2023. It shows employment (number of jobs) per city (CLUE) block, classified by their space use and small area allocation.

This dataset has been confidentialised to protect the commercially sensitive information of individual businesses. Data in cells which pertain to two or fewer businesses have been suppressed and are shown as a blank cell. The row and column totals refer to the true total, including those suppressed cells.

Non-confidentialised data may be made available subject to a data supply agreement. For more information contact cityfacts@melbourne.vic.gov.au

For CLUE block spatial files see https://data.melbourne.vic.gov.au/explore/dataset/blocks-for-census-of-land-use-and-employment-clue/information/
