<pre class="">Why judge on the population? </pre>
<pre class=""><tt class="">Larger populations get more services - Police, Medical, Education ... they go hand in hand. </tt></pre>
<pre class=""><tt class="">Populations are usually stated - on the entry signs to towns, villages .. and collected by the ABS. So verifiable and accessible.</tt></pre>
<pre class=""><tt class="">Yes they do change .. but not by vast amounts quickly. </tt></pre>
<pre class=""><tt class="">Usually the relationship between population centres remains fairly static .. if one grows so do the surrounding ones. </tt></pre>
<pre class=""><tt class="">Much easier to quickly asses and correctly tag this way. So it satisfies the KISS principle.
