    "notes": "The number of people aged 65 years and over in Australia at the end of each quarter, both sexes, as estimated by the ABS: the sum of the ABS's estimated resident population by single year of age from 65 to '100 and over', read from the ABS Data API (dataflow ERP_Q) and, for the June quarters, confirmed against Table 59 of the release at source.url (population at 30 June by single year of age, from 1971). The sum is the only working out in this series; the components are the ABS's published estimates, and aggregation records the rule so the sum can be checked. The ABS revises population estimates: its methodology (methodology_url) says 'The status of quarterly ERP data changes over time from preliminary to revised to final as new component data becomes available', that 'Preliminary ERP is updated every quarter due to revisions to the component data for earlier quarters', that ERP is marked revised once it is not expected to change again until the final update 22 months after the next Census, and that final estimates are made available every five years after a census. Its revision status table for this release gives September 1991 to June 2021 as final, September 2021 to March 2025 as revised and the June 2025 quarter on as preliminary; each observation's status records that. Every observation holds the estimate as the March 2026 release gives it (the release each was read from). When a later release changes a quarter's estimate, the value is replaced, the earlier value is kept in the observation's revisions with the release it came from, and the change log records a revision (update-series skill). The ABS publishes no quarterly movement for a sum of ages, so movements_published is false and observations carry no change_pct. The series starts at the June 2013 quarter, the first quarter before the Age Pension recipient series begins.",
