Classification counts show national totals of the finer details about population and dwellings. They contain information about key variables, including age, birthplace, education and occupation.

Each table about a variable shows separate totals for the detailed classifications within the variable. For example, the classification counts about occupation show separate totals for all jobs within the classification, such as like pig farmers, actors, librarians, fencers.
