This data is Statistical Local Areas (SLA) based Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) Index of Advantage/Disadvantage (IRSAD) - Is a continuum of advantage to disadvantage. Low values indicate areas of disadvantage; and high values indicate areas of advantage. This data is based on the 2006 census and follows the 2006 Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) boundaries. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has developed indexes to allow ranking of regions/areas, providing a method of determining the level of social and economic wellbeing in that region. There are four indexes included in the SEIFA 2006 product. They relate to socio-economic aspects of geographic areas. Each index summarises a different aspect of the socio-economic conditions in an area. The indexes have been obtained by a technique called principal components analysis. This technique summarises the information from a variety of social and economic variables, calculating weights that will give the best summary for the underlying variables. For the SEIFA indexes, each index uses a different set of underlying variables. All the indexes (including the Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage) have been constructed so that relatively disadvantaged areas (e.g. areas with many low income earners) have low index values.

Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) is a product developed by the ABS that ranks areas in Australia according to relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. The indexes are based on information from the five-yearly Census. SEIFA 2011 is the latest version of this product and consists of four indexes. The Index of Education and Occupation (IEO) is designed to reflect the educational and occupational level of communities. The education variables in this index show either the level of qualification achieved or whether further education is being undertaken. The occupation variables classify the workforce into the major groups and skill levels of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and the unemployed. This index does not include any income variables. Data last updated: 28th March 2013. Users of this data are advised to carefully read the accompanying information on the SEIFA web page and in the Technical Paper.

This spread sheet shows ABS geographic standards from 2006 across Australia and the % of the 15-64 year old population within each Socio-Economic Indexes for Individuals (SEIFI) IRSAD group. The data used to create this information was the same as used in the research paper “Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas: Getting a handle on individual diversity within areas” by Phillip Wise and Rosalynn Mathews. It is advised that this paper is read to further develop an understanding of the concepts and caveats associated with the analytical output contained in the spreadsheet.] Roughly, the most disadvantaged 10% of the 15–64 year old population falls into group 1, whilst group 10 contains the most advantaged 10%. The smallest group in terms of 15–64 year old population proportion is group 6 with 7.78%, compared to group 7 with the largest percentage at 12% due to clustering at this point in the distribution of scores. Group 1 – Approx. 9.6% of the 15-64 year old population Group 2 – Approx. 10.0% of the 15-64 year old population Group 3 – Approx. 11.5% of the 15-64 year old population Group 4 – Approx. 8.6% of the 15-64 year old population Group 5 – Approx. 11.4% of the 15-64 year old population Group 6 – Approx. 7.8% of the 15-64 year old population Group 7 – Approx. 12.0% of the 15-64 year old population Group 8 – Approx. 9.1% of the 15-64 year old population Group 9 – Approx. 9.5% of the 15-64 year old population Group 10 – Approx. 10.5% of the 15-64 year old population

The small area (SA2) estimates of indigenous social indicator in Australia. This is an outcome of a process that combines substantial geographic information from the latest 2011 Census with the rich variable detail of National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) 2008. The model uses both these sets of data to gain reliable small area estimates of Indigenous social indicator. The indicators include participation in cultural activities; social capital; discrimination; health status; psychological stress; social and emotional wellbeing; financial stress; feelings of safety or stress; identification with clan, tribal or language group.

This dataset presents information from 2016 at the household level; the percentage of households within each Index of Household Advantage and Disadvantage (IHAD) quartile for Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) 2016 boundaries. The IHAD is an experimental analytical index developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) that provides a summary measure of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage for households. It utilises information from the 2016 Census of Population and Housing. IHAD quartiles: All households are ordered from lowest to highest disadvantage, the lowest 25% of households are given a quartile number of 1, the next lowest 25% of households are given a quartile number of 2 and so on, up to the highest 25% of households which are given a quartile number of 4. This means that households are divided up into four groups, depending on their score. This data is ABS data (catalogue number: 4198.0) used with permission from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. For more information please visit the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. AURIN has calculated the number of households for each IHAD quartile based on the Occupied Private Dwellings count and the percentage of households in each quartile. These calculated columns have been appended to the original dataset. A household is defined as one or more persons, at least one of whom is at least 15 years of age, usually resident in the same private dwelling. All occupants of a dwelling form a household. For Census purposes, the total number of households is equal to the total number of occupied private dwellings (Census of Population and Housing: Census Dictionary, 2016 cat. no. 2901.0). IHAD output has been confidentialised to meet ABS requirements. In line with standard ABS procedures to minimise the risk of identifying individuals, a technique has been applied to randomly adjust cell values of the output tables. These adjustments may cause the sum of rows or columns to differ by small amounts from table totals.

For more information please visit the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Please note: AURIN has generated this dataset through aggregating the original SA1 level data (with calculated number of households/quartile) to LGA level. Aggregation was achieved through calculating the centroid for each SA1 and assigning it to the LGA it fell within. The number of occupied private dwellings, and number of households in each of the IHAD quartiles were calculated for each LGA by aggregating the peviously assigned SA1 values of each of those specified columns from the SA1 dataset. Percentages of households in each of the IHAD quartiles were calculated for each LGA from these aggregated totals. A household is defined as one or more persons, at least one of whom is at least 15 years of age, usually resident in the same private dwelling. All occupants of a dwelling form a household. For Census purposes, the total number of households is equal to the total number of occupied private dwellings (Census of Population and Housing: Census Dictionary, 2016 cat. no. 2901.0).
