1 Time

August 2016 has been chosen to coincide with campus survey. 12th to 22nd August is the period with largest amount of data, limited by car counters.

2 Location

Pilot will be constrained to mesh block 30114560000 (same as SA1 30403109615)

Some stats might be only available on SA2 level (304031096 area St Lucia)? But that will be problematic since it includes non-campus part of St Lucia.

3 Census

3.1 Resident pop (ERP)

Estimated at 2,153 people for SA1 (place of usual residence)

3.2 Working pop

Destination Zones (DZN) geography code: 310961711 (equivalent to SA1?).

Estimated population 8,695 (place of work).

These can be disaggregated by place of origin (DZN or SA2 and above)

Both resident and working pops can come split by characteristics covered in the census.

3.3 Nightime pop

From the Aug UQ survey:

Collating information from the websites of each of the 10 residential colleges and Unilodge yielded a resident population of 2,747 for the St Lucia Campus as of August 2016. It is assumed that the resident population represents the overnight population of the campus.

Better data are available for weekend occupancy of cars from 13th Aug 2016.

Again, loess.smooth is fitted using data points plus mean values added at the begining and end of the day.
