The gender rate is pretty 50/50 not much to say here.
A majority of the population is educated to year 12 and onward but there's still a notable amount of people that leave at year 10, compared to older generations more people have been in school until year 12.
While I think that the increase in education is likely the cause those who identified as 'Non religious' now outnumber the previous census Juggernaut, Catholicism. Anglicans and those voting 'other' are also catching up to Catholics. This is only good news if you ask me. If you go back to the 50's the 'non religious' pick didn't even make 1% of the population, during the 50's Australia was a pretty non-accepting racist nation, we still had things like the 'White Australia policy' at this time. [i]Strangely[/i] the White Australia policies started to vanish as atheism and education increased.
The current population is 23 and a half million people with about 2/3rds of us living in state/territory capitals. Population growth in capital cities seem linked to immigration with 80% of immigrants moving into the cities.
Australia's average age is late 30's-early 40's
Gen Y and Baby Boomers make up most of the population with Gen X holding a chunk, the silent generation (pre 1945) is rapidly shrinking. Home owners are pretty much just baby boomers, not the biggest surprise. With my bet being they didn't buy their house recently.
50% of Australians are 3rd generation or have older families.
Our main source of immigration is from the UK with NZ also bringing a fair amount of people (Don't blame those kiwis, New Zealand is a horrible war torn country) China is the 3rd biggest contributor. Compare this to federation year, most immigrants came solely from Ireland, the UK and Germany.
Only around 2% of Australians are aboriginal, this is still a growth and the population is still recovering from White Australia. Most the aboriginal population lives in NT. The aboriginal prison population especially in the NT is over represented and make up a majority of those imprisoned there.

I'm shocked. Who knew the people that -blam!-ed the country and pull the most amount of welfare out of the $164 billion we are expected to spend; own their own homes. Thanks boomers!

NONE OF THIS MATTERS TO ME I AM A WHITE CATHOLIC BORN AMERICAN AND THER TAKIN ER JOBS!!!!! [alternate comment] Just a bunch of bogus information if you ask me. Damn Aussies are pushing their devil warship culture and sensitivities through the interweb now! [alternate comment] This kind of reflection needs done in the States. We're starting to see crystal clear evidence that people have shed their religious dogmas to champion the new age of scientific understanding into light. With information and data being the forefront of policy making, while there are clear missteps that could be had, we will surely begin to see a dramatic shift into rational governance and international cooperation. It is clear to me that nations of people like Australia, the Scandinavians, much of Europe, and many other first world countries who are actively keeping up with the rapidly advancing world of human thought, are the nations to be led by in the near future. The United States as a whole is clearly no longer interested in leading the world into the tangible and inevitable future of cultural excellence. Luckily, even though there are plenty of powerful people doing everything in their power to resist and slow down the rapid advancement of rationalization, there are still multiple times as many who do believe in the twenty first century's blossoming of global human excellence and cooperation. [alternative comment] Spiders and snakes, no thanks!

I'm not a bit surprised about the fastest growing city. If you're going to move to an Aussie city, Darwin is a pretty natural selection.
