This API provides geographic reference data for State Suburbs (SSCs) across Australia, part of the Geographical data repository maintained by Opendatasoft on its public open-data platform. State Suburbs are an approximation of gazetted localities defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), which does not explicitly delineate towns; they are constructed by allocating collection areas to the most appropriate locality. The dataset supports geographic lookups, mapping, and statistical analysis involving Australian suburb-level boundaries and can be queried or exported through the Opendatasoft API.This dataset is part of the Geographical repository maintained by Opendatasoft. This dataset contains data for all State Suburbs in Australia. The ABS does not explicitly define towns. State Suburbs (SSCs) are a n ABS approximation of gazetted localities constructed from the allocation of one or...
