A data.table of 4 columns. The keys are sa2_code
From the Community Series time series data packs.
N.B. countries_of_birth only includes the top 35 responses countries of birth across Australia.
sa2_code is not necessarily the same as SA2_MAINYY for 2006, 2011, and 2016.
Instead, the code reflects the 2016 boundaries and the values given allow comparisons to be made over time on these boundaries.
