Australia's rapidly-changing population is more godless, more Asian and far less likely to own a home outright, the results of the 2016 census show.

The first full results from the census, released on Tuesday, revealed an ageing Australian population with huge shifts in the things its citizens have in common. The proportion of those who own their home outright has fallen dramatically, and for the first time, the majority of residents who were born overseas now hail from Asia, not Europe.
