Communities with a Snapshot population of less than five were not analysed. These low figures compromise confidentiality and are susceptible to large fluctuations when calculating proportions.

Caution must be used when interpreting the Census information in relation to the number of Aboriginal youth in custody on Snapshot day, as small changes in the number of youth in custody may produce large fluctuations when calculating proportions (e.g., 5 youth in a location with 10 Aboriginal youth, compared to 5 youth in a location with 100 Aboriginal youth).

The census calculation faced numerous problems in their design and conduct ranging from absence of house numbering in hamlets to cultural objections. There were also grounds to dangers posed by wild animals to census personnel.

The difference of the nature of Indian society during the British Raj from the value system and the societies of the West were highlighted by the inclusion of "caste", "religion", "profession" and "age" in the data to be collected.
