"Despite the fact that indigenous Australians are known to be frequently mobile over the short term, statistical information regarding this population movement is grossly deficient.... This paper examines various means by which short-term population movement can be quantified to yield aggregate indicators of demographic impact. First, census data are used to establish the rate and pattern of inter-regional, short-term displacement. This reveals regional urban centres as net recipients of temporary residents while most rural areas experience temporary absenteeism. Secondly, results from household surveys are reported stressing the importance of including visitors to households in the estimation of service populations. Thirdly, administrative data on occupancy in urban hostels are used to derive indicators of the duration of movement."
尽管澳大利亚原住民以短期频繁流动而闻名，但有关这一人口流动的统计信息却严重不足……本文探讨了各种量化短期人口流动以得出人口影响总体指标的方法。首先，利用人口普查数据来确定区域间短期迁移的速率和模式。这显示出区域城市中心是临时居民的净接收地，而大多数农村地区则出现临时人口外流。其次，报告了家庭调查的结果，强调在估计服务人口时纳入住户访客的重要性。第三，利用城市旅社入住情况的行政数据来得出流动持续时间的指标。
