Introduction

This paper shows the number of persons and/or families in each Commonwealth Electoral Division receiving various benefits from the Department of Social Security (DSS) at December 1995. The information is derived from similar data published by postcode by the DSS. This postcode data was allocated to Electoral Divisions using a formula based on the results of the 1991 Census of Population and Housing (the latest available Census). The Electoral Division boundaries were those applicable to the 1996 Election. Where a postcode is located in two or more Electoral Divisions, the recipients data was allocated on a pro rata basis.

The postcode data was generated by the DSS using the postal address of the recipients. This created some difficulty, as some postcodes (eg. covering Mail Centres) did not figure in the 1991 Census and so could not be allocated to an Electoral Division. The sum of these postcodes is shown as unallocated category for each State.

In addition, several of the major type of recipients are shown in tables ranking Electoral Divisions from lowest to highest on the basis of the number of each type of recipient and reveal the following:
