Business establishments and jobs data by business size and ANZSIC in small areas

Data collected as part of the City of Melbourne's Census of Land Use and Employment (CLUE). The data covers the period 2002-2024. It shows number of jobs and number of business establishments by business size, classified by their  ANZSIC1 and CLUE small area allocation.

Business size is determined by the total number of jobs at each business establishment and is categorised as follows:

  • Non employing, no jobs allocated to the establishment.
  • Small business, 1 to 19 jobs employed at a business establishment.
  • Medium business, 20 to 199 jobs employed at a business establishment.
  • Larger business, 200 or more jobs employed at a business establishment.

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 true column values for the City of Melbourne can be found in the 'Business establishments and jobs data by business size and ANZSIC in municipality' dataset. The values in this dataset 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
