About this detailed group code

Detailed group pages are the end point of the main ASCCEG hierarchy. They are used when the cultural or ethnic label has been identified precisely enough for final coding.

If the source response is still broad or ambiguous, step back to the narrow group or broad group pages before settling on the final code.

Frequently asked questions

What is ASCCEG code 2312?

Frisian is a four-digit detailed cultural and ethnic group record in ASCCEG 2025. It is the terminal classification code in the main hierarchy.

Where would this code be used?

ASCCEG codes are used in ABS ancestry and ethnicity coding, census work and administrative collections that require a standard group reference.

Should I use a broader parent code instead?

Only if the response is not specific enough for the detailed group. If the cultural or ethnic group is known, the four-digit end code is usually the best match.
