Dubbo at the Census

A young, working city in the Central West

Figures for the Dubbo Significant Urban Area from the 2021 Census.

Dubbo urban area: core 2021 counts
Measure	Dubbo
Residents	40,578
Median age	35
Families	10,276
Private dwellings	16,842
Average household size	2.5

How Dubbo differs from New South Wales and Australia

Lots of young children

7.6% of residents are under five, well above the 5.8% for both the state and the country.

Full-time work

62.9% of employed residents worked full-time, against 55.2% across NSW.

Places inside the boundary

NSW place names within the urban area include Dubbo, North Dubbo, South Dubbo, West Dubbo, Delroy Gardens and Orana Heights.

Census cells are randomly adjusted by small amounts to protect privacy, so details may not sum to totals. We print the bureau's published figures without change.

Signature project

Can an outlier detector find odd house numbers?

Order every address point along the street, read off the house numbers, and ask the Hampel filter which ones look wrong.

The two Dubbo streets in the NSW address points (our counts, extracted 8 October 2026)
Item	Darling Street	Fitzroy Street
Address points	328	444
Distinct numbered sites after merging duplicates	212	311
Approximate length covered	3.3 km	5.7 km
Highest odd and even numbers	363 and 272	411 and 434

Hampel flags, window of 5 either side, threshold 3 (our calculation)
How the numbers are fed in	Darling Street flags	Fitzroy Street flags
Both sides mixed in one sequence	59	6
Odd side only	2 of 106 sites	0 of 147 sites
Even side only	0 of 106 sites	3 of 164 sites
Even side, with a minimum spread of 4	0	1

Put the points in order

Find the direction each street mostly runs in and sort the address points along it, so the numbers form a sequence from one end to the other.

Slide a window

For each number, look at the five before and five after. Take their median and their median absolute deviation, a robust measure of spread.

Flag the far ones

If a number is more than three scaled deviations from its neighbours' median, flag it for a human to check.

Odd and even sides do not line up

On Darling Street the odd side reaches 363 while the even side stops at 272, so opposite houses can carry very different numbers. Mixed together, the sequence jumps back and forth and the filter sees outliers everywhere: 59 of them. Split by side, the alarms fall to two, both among the lowest odd numbers. On Fitzroy Street the split leaves three flags on the even side, and requiring a minimum spread of 4 leaves just one.

A flag means "worth checking", not "wrong": a number can be unusual for good reasons, such as a corner block or a renumbered lot. We publish counts only, never individual addresses. Address data (c) Spatial Services; every count and flag is our own calculation.

From filter to AI

Why data cleaning is AI work

Most real AI projects spend more time on this step than on the model.

The Hampel filter uses the median and the median absolute deviation rather than the mean and standard deviation, because a single wild value can drag a mean a long way but barely moves a median. That robustness is why it is popular for cleaning sensor readings and logs before they reach a machine learning model. Yet the Dubbo test shows its weak point: it assumes neighbours should be similar. When the data has hidden structure, such as two interleaved sides of a street, the assumption fails and so does the filter.

Teenagers

Write a median function, then a rolling window, then the full filter, and test it on a short list with one planted mistake.

University students

Compare the Hampel filter with isolation forests and other anomaly detectors, and measure false alarms on structured data.

Adults

Learn to look at how data is organised before cleaning it, and to report flags as questions rather than errors.

Modern Age Coders has no affiliation with Spatial Services, the NSW Government, Dubbo Regional Council or the statistics bureau. The bureau supplied the Census tables; the ordering, filtering and every flag count came from our own Python.

Coding and AI

AI tools can clean data automatically. Why should Dubbo learners know how?

Because an automatic cleaner applied without understanding would have raised 59 alarms on one street, and someone has to know why most of them are wrong.

AI data tools increasingly offer to "fix" a dataset in one click, flagging outliers and suggesting corrections. Underneath, many use exactly this kind of rolling robust filter. Run on Darling Street with both sides mixed, that one click would mark dozens of perfectly good addresses as errors, and a trusting user might "correct" them.

Our Dubbo learners build the filter themselves, run it on real streets, and then work out why it misfires. Once they understand the structure, they can tell an AI tool how to group the data, or check its suggestions before accepting any. That judgement is what separates using AI from relying on it blindly.

Models learn from whatever they are given; the person who cleans the data decides what that is. The longer argument is in why coding still matters in 2026.

Delivery

How Dubbo lessons work

Every class is a live video lesson, so distance from a big city is no obstacle.

At home

Learners connect from their own desk; there is no long drive to Sydney or Orange for a class.

Fits NSW school

Teachers plan with NSW year levels in mind and work around the state's four terms. Everything is taught in English.

Trial first

A real, free first lesson ends with a recommended course and a weekly time that suits.

Matched groups

Fifteen to twenty learners at the same level, gathered from Dubbo and elsewhere so each group stays full.

Twice weekly

A learner meets the class on two set days each week, which comes to roughly eight sessions in a month.

Teachers in India

India time is five and a half hours behind Dubbo during daylight saving and four and a half hours behind for the rest of the year.

Times in Dubbo time

We always book in Dubbo time, so when NSW clocks change the adjustment is ours to make.

Fees

Dubbo class fees

The pricing is short and the same across Australia.

First classUSD 0

Your first lesson is free, with a level, course and weekly time suggested at the end.

Group tuitionUSD 100

A month of group classes, about eight, with fifteen to twenty learners at the same stage.

Private tuitionUSD 150

About eight private lessons a month with your own teacher.

Outside India we charge in US dollars, and Dubbo pays the same as every other Australian town. You are billed only once the trial has settled what and when you will study, and our pricing page deals with holidays, absences and moving from group to private or back.

FAQ

Dubbo AI class questions

Answers to what Dubbo families and adults ask most often.

What is a Hampel filter?

A Hampel filter is an outlier detector that slides a window along a sequence and flags any value more than a set number of scaled median absolute deviations from the window's median.

What did the Dubbo project find?

With both sides of Darling Street mixed, the filter flagged 59 house numbers; split into odd and even sides, it flagged only 2. On Fitzroy Street, splitting left 3 flags, and adding a minimum spread left 1.

How many people live in Dubbo?

Census night 2021 counted 40,578 people in the Dubbo urban area, and their median age was 35, younger than the state as a whole.

Why is data cleaning part of learning AI?

Because machine learning models learn whatever patterns are in their data, including mistakes. Finding and judging odd values is a core step in every real AI project.

Do you help NSW senior students?

Yes, with the programming and maths behind senior NSW subjects, organised around NSW terms. Assessed work always remains the student's own.

When are lessons for Dubbo learners?

Weekday after-school slots and Saturday mornings are common, agreed at the trial and always quoted in Dubbo time.

Can younger children join?

Yes. Our youngest learners are six and start with Scratch and simple games. The address filter project is for teenagers and adults.

Is there a Modern Age Coders centre in Dubbo?

No. We hold no premises in Australia and claim none. All classes are live online; learners need a computer, sound and a dependable connection, and our listed phone number is in India.

What do Dubbo AI classes cost?

The first lesson is free. Then a group place is USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, or USD 150 a month one to one. Everything is agreed before you pay.

How many learners share a group?

Between five and ten, matched by level and goals rather than age or location. If no group time works, we offer one-to-one lessons.
