Queensland, a larger proportion of these dwellings were unoccupied on Census night.

Most common Census indicators consider only dwellings occupied by residents on Census night.
If only dwellings occupied by residents on Census night are included, Noosa Shire reported a
similar dwelling structure to the SEQ Region and Queensland, with 79.5% of private occupied
dwellings being separate houses, compared to 76.1% for the SEQ Region and 78.5% for
Queensland (Table 5).
