LGA wise ABS education population data on different ages for year 2016

Description

A dataset containing Australian Bureau of Statistics education data by lga for 2016. The data sourced from 2016 Census - Employment, Income and Education through TableBuilder have been randomly adjusted by the ABS to avoid the release of confidential data. As a result of this, there are some cases where the estimated number of people being educated is higher than the population of those people. Such cases have been flagged under the anomaly_flag variable.
