Community Profile
The Bayside City Council Community Profile includes the first release of results from the 2006 Census of Population and Housing, and is designed to inform Council, community groups, investors, business, students and the general public. To achieve this, the Profile is formatted to present the data in simple, clear tables and charts with concise factual commentary. The profile presents data from the city as a whole and for each of the suburbs that make up the city.

Community Forecast
The Community Forecast product provides population and household forecasts from 2001 to 2021 for the City of Bayside and its nine suburb areas. The forecast uses data from the 2001 Census along with the most up to date information on land development, fertility and death rates, migration patterns and household structure to inform forecast assumptions. The material is a resource for Council and the community and provides information on how local demographic characteristics are likely to change over time, and what is driving the change.

Social Atlas
The Bayside Social Atlas, which also contains data collected in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing, contains a wealth of information about the City of Bayside community and its neighbours in adjacent Local Government areas. It contains maps and commentary illustrating a range of social demographic and economic characteristics of the population of the City of Bayside and surrounding areas.
