Built from Mesh Blocks, SA1s aggregate into SA2s and serve as foundational units for various statistical structures, including urban and Indigenous classifications. There are 61,845 SA1s across Australia, including special codes for populations without fixed addresses, such as those in transit or with no usual residence.
