Introduction
This paper provides data on four summary
indexes, derived from the 1996 Census of Population and Housing,
that measure different aspects of socioeconomic conditions for
Commonwealth Electoral Divisions. It updates a paper published in
1998(1) to take account of the effects of the 1999-2000
electoral redistributions.
The five-yearly censuses of population conducted
by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) collect data on a
broad range of social and economic aspects of the Australian
population. Each household is required to answer nearly fifty
questions, covering such diverse topics as birthplace, occupation,
educational qualifications, method of travel to work and ownership
of dwellings. While it is possible to compare Electoral Divisions
on the basis of each census variable it is often more useful to
compare divisions on the basis of a summary of related variables.
The indexes shown in this paper have been derived by the ABS for
this purpose. A paper comparing Electoral Divisions on the basis of
a number of individual census variables has been published
previously by the Parliamentary Library.(2)
This paper shows each Electoral Division ranked
on the basis of each index together with a description of each
index and some notable features of the rankings. It has been
produced from data obtained from the Australian Bureau of
Statistics for Census Collection Districts (CCD) and aggregated to
Commonwealth Electoral Divisions using the methodology recommended
by the ABS (for details of the aggregation methodology see the
Appendix pages 17-19). A more detailed explanation of the indexes
is available from an Information Paper published by the
ABS.(3)
Data for each index is presented in two tables.
The first table shows each Electoral Division in alphabetical order
and the second shows each Electoral Division ranked by the index
(divisions are ranked from lowest to highest). The political party
notionally holding the Electoral Division after the 1999-2000
redistributions is shown on each table.
In the Highlights section of the paper reference
is made to the geographic classification of individual Electoral
Divisions. The geographic classification used has been devised by
the Australian Electoral Commission, which classifies Electoral
Divisions into one of four categories: inner-metropolitan;
outer-metropolitan; provincial or rural.
Highlights
The following section provides comment on the
main features of each index. Because of the similar variables used
to construct each index there are certain similarities in the
rankings of Electoral Divisions for the various indexes. For
instance, the division of Bradfield is ranked highest on each index
while the divisions of Fowler and Bonython are the two lowest
ranked divisions for three out of the four indexes. A number of
divisions in the north shore area of Sydney and in the eastern
suburbs of Melbourne appear in the top 20 rankings for each index.
Similarly a number of rural and outer-metropolitan divisions appear
in the bottom 20 rankings for all indexes.
Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage
This index measures the relative social and
economic well-being of the area. The Electoral Division with the
highest index score is the Sydney north shore division of
Bradfield, while the division with the lowest score is the
outer-suburban Sydney division of Fowler. The median divisions
(index score where there are an equal number of divisions above and
below that score) are the Queensland Sunshine Coast division of
Fairfax and the Newcastle based division of Charlton
Most of the 20 highest ranked divisions are
located on the north shore of Sydney (Bradfield, North Sydney,
Berowra, Warringah, Mackellar and Bennelong) and in the Eastern
suburbs of Melbourne (Kooyong, Menzies, Higgins and Goldstein).
Other divisions to feature in the top 20 are the traditionally
well-off areas of Brisbane (Ryan) and Perth (Curtin). No South
Australian or Tasmanian divisions feature in the top 20. All but
two of the top 20 divisions are held by the Liberal Party, the
exceptions being the two ACT divisions (Canberra and Fraser).
Divisions with a low score are typically either
outer-suburban or rural. Of the 20 divisions with the lowest score,
eight are outer-suburban (Fowler, Chifley and Werriwa in Sydney,
Holt in Melbourne, Oxley and Rankin in Brisbane and Bonython and
Kingston in Adelaide) and six are rural (Gwydir in New South Wales,
Maranoa and Wide Bay in Queensland, Grey and Barker in South
Australia and the new division of Lingiari in the NT). Fourteen of
the 20 lowest ranked divisions are held by the Labor Party while
the six rural divisions are held by the Coalition parties (Maranoa,
Gwydir and Wide Bay by the National Party, Grey and Barker by the
Liberal Party and Lingiari by the Country Liberal Party).
Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage
This index measures the relative social and
economic hardship in an area and to a certain extent displays a
similar pattern to the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage
described above. It should be noted that to maintain consistency
with the other indexes this index has been inverted so that the
higher the index score the better-off an area is while the lower
the index score the less well-off an area is. The Electoral
Division with the highest score is Bradfield while the division
with the lowest score is Fowler. The median divisions are Perth and
the southern NSW division of Riverina.
As with the Index of Socioeconomic Advantage
most of the 20 highest ranked divisions are located on the north
shore of Sydney (Bradfield, North Sydney, Berowra, Warringah,
Mackellar and Bennelong) or in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne
(Kooyong, Higgins, Menzies, Goldstein and Aston). Two southern
Sydney divisions (Hughes and Cook) also feature in the top 20
divisions. All but two of the top 20 divisions are held by the
Liberal Party, the exceptions once again being the two Labor Party
held divisions in the ACT (Canberra and Fraser).
Rural areas are prominent in the lower ranked
divisions, reflecting the lower family incomes and lack of
educational opportunities in rural Australia. Of the 20 lowest
ranked divisions, nine are rural divisions (Cowper, Lyne and Gwydir
in New South Wales, Wide Bay, Hinkler and Longman in Queensland,
Grey in South Australia, Braddon in Tasmania and Lingiari in the
NT). Two provincial divisions, Throsby based on Wollongong and
Brand in Western Australia, also feature in the bottom 20. Because
of the presence of a number of rural divisions the political
representation in the bottom 20 divisions is more evenly spread
than in the Index of Advantage. Twelve divisions are held by the
Labor Party and eight by the Coalition parties.
An indication of the lack of homogeneity within
a particular Electoral Division can be obtained by comparing the
relative positions on the rankings between the two indexes of
advantage and disadvantage. For example, if an Electoral Division
has a concentration of people who are relatively well-off in one
part of the division and a concentration of people who are not so
well-off in another part this will be reflected in a relatively
high ranking on the Index of Advantage and a relatively low ranking
on the Index of Disadvantage. By this measure the two least
homogenous divisions are the new Darwin based division of Solomon
and the outer-suburban Melbourne division of Isaacs. Solomon is
ranked in the bottom third (49th) on the Index of
Advantage yet is ranked in the top third (111th) on the
Index of Disadvantage. The division of Isaacs has a similar
pattern, being ranked 41st on the Index of Advantage and
99th on the Index of Disadvantage. Other divisions to
display a wide discrepancy are: Melbourne and Lalor in Victoria and
Makin in South Australia.
Index of Economic Resources
This index measures the economic resources or
income and expenditure patterns of families. Not surprisingly the
distribution of Electoral Divisions in this index are very similar
to the distribution in the Indexes of Advantage and Disadvantage.
Once again the Electoral Division with the highest index score is
Bradfield in Sydney, while the division with the lowest score is
the new Northern Territory rural division of Lingiari. The median
divisions are Rankin in southern Brisbane and Melbourne Ports.
As with the Indexes of Advantage and
Disadvantage the top 20 places in the rankings for this index are
dominated by divisions located in the well-off suburbs in the
capital cities, although neither Adelaide nor Hobart divisions are
included in the top 20. All but two of the top 20 divisions are
held by the Liberal Party, the exceptions being Canberra and the
northern Perth division of Cowan.
At the bottom end of the rankings rural
divisions predominate, reflecting low family incomes and low rental
and mortgage payments in rural Australia. The Index of Economic
Resources is the only index where the Coalition parties hold more
divisions in the bottom 20 than the Labor Party. The preponderance
of rural divisions at the lower end of the rankings is further
emphasised by the fact that the National Party holds no divisions
with a ranking over 55.
Index of Education and Occupation
This index is designed to measure the
educational attainment and occupational status of the population.
Like the other indexes a familiar pattern emerges. The division
with the highest ranking is Bradfield, while the division with the
lowest ranking is Fowler. The median divisions are the northern
Brisbane division of Petrie and Fremantle in Western Australia.
Once again the top 20 places in the rankings for
this index are dominated by divisions located on the north shore of
Sydney and in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. However, there are
a number of divisions appearing in the top 20 for this index that
are not in the top 20 for the other indexes. These divisions are:
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the inner- suburban Sydney division
of Lowe. The high ranking for these divisions is probably a
function of the location of tertiary education institutions in or
near these divisions. Given the more diverse spread of divisions in
the top 20 it is not surprising to find that the political
complexion is also more evenly spread. Of the top 20 divisions, the
Liberal Party holds thirteen, while the Labor Party holds
seven.
Rural divisions make up the majority of the
divisions at the bottom end of the rankings, reflecting the lack of
tertiary education opportunities and professional occupational
groups in rural Australia. Perhaps reflecting the gentrification of
the inner suburbs of the capital cities, no inner-metropolitan
divisions are in the bottom 20. Out of the 20 divisions at the
bottom of the rankings, the Labor Party holds eleven divisions,
while the National Party holds five and the Liberal Party four.
Description of the
Indexes
There are four indexes shown in this paper. Each
index summarises a different aspect of the socioeconomic conditions
in the Electoral Divisions. The indexes have been obtained by
summarising the information from a variety of social and economic
variables. While there are similarities in the rankings of the
Electoral Divisions, each index uses a different set of underlying
variables.
The four indexes are:
-
- Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage
-
- Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage
-
- Index of Economic Resources
-
- Index of Education and Occupation.
All the indexes (including the Index of Relative
Disadvantage) have been constructed so that relatively advantaged
areas have high index values. For the Index of Relative
Disadvantage this means that relatively disadvantaged areas have
low index numbers. To enable easy recognition of high and low
scores, the index scores have been standardised to have a mean of
1000 across all Collection Districts in Australia.
The Index of Relative Socioeconomic
Advantage includes variables that measure relative social
and economic well-being. Indicators included are: high income
families; professional occupations; tertiary educational
qualifications; dwellings owner occupied or being purchased;
dwellings with a large number of bedrooms and a large number of
motor vehicles. A higher score on this index means that the
Electoral Division has a relatively large proportion of people with
the above attributes (i.e. high incomes, professional occupations,
tertiary qualifications, etc.). Conversely, a lower score on this
index means that the Electoral Division has a relatively low
proportion of people with these characteristics.
The Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage
was constructed by combining two indexes-the Urban Index of
Relative Socioeconomic Advantage and the Rural Index of Relative
Socioeconomic Advantage. Because the index is a combination of two
other indexes with slightly different components it should be
treated with some caution. See the Appendix to this paper for a
further explanation of the construction of the index.
As the name implies the Index of
Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage is derived from
attributes that indicate relative social and economic hardship.
Variables included are low income, low educational attainment,
unskilled occupations, unemployment, one-parent families, renting
households and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. To maintain
consistency with the other indexes, the Index of Socioeconomic
Disadvantage has been inverted so that advantaged Electoral
Divisions have a high index score and disadvantaged divisions have
a low score. Thus a high score on this index means that the
Electoral Division has relatively fewer people with the above
attributes, while a low score indicates relatively more people with
these attributes.
In most cases Electoral Divisions that have a
high score on the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage will
also have a high score on the Index of Relative Socioeconomic
Disadvantage. However, it is possible for an Electoral Division to
contain two distinct population groups, one relatively well-off and
one relatively less well-off, thus giving a high score on the Index
of Advantage and a low score on the Index of Disadvantage. The
Division of Melbourne for example is ranked 108th (i.e.
relatively high) on the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage,
yet is ranked 53rd (i.e. relatively low) on the Index of
Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage.
The Index of Economic Resources
reflects the profile of the economic resources of families in
Electoral Divisions. The indicators summarised in this index
reflect the income and expenditure of families. Variables included
are: home owner or purchaser households; high family incomes; high
mortgage repayments and high rental payments. Variables covering
non-income assets such as dwelling size and number of motor
vehicles are also included. A high score on this index means that
the Electoral Division has a higher proportion of families with
these characteristics, while a low score indicates a lower
proportion of families with these characteristics.
The Index of Education and
Occupation is designed to reflect the educational and
occupation of the population in Electoral Divisions. Education
variables included in the index are the level of educational
qualification attained or whether further study is being
undertaken. Occupational variables include the major occupation
groups and the unemployed. An Electoral Division with a high score
on this index would have a high concentration of people with higher
educational qualifications or undertaking further study and persons
employed in higher skilled occupations. A low score indicates a
concentration of people with low education attainment, low
occupation skills or unemployed persons.
A list of the variables included in each index
is shown in the Appendix to this paper.
Data Limitations
The indexes contained in this paper are subject
to a number of limitations which should be borne in mind when the
indexes are used to compare Electoral Divisions.
Firstly, the indexes include only some of the
social and economic variables for which data was collected in the
1996 Census of Population and Housing. There are a number of social
and economic indicators, such as wealth, savings, health, access to
infrastructure, etc. that affect the well-being of the population
but were not collected in the census and are therefore not included
in the indexes. In addition, the indexes include only a limited
number of the available census variables. Some notable exclusions
from the indexes are age, country of birth, religion and hours of
work.
Secondly, the indexes which have been produced
depend upon the variables that have been included and the relative
weights attached to those variables. The inclusion of a different
range of variables or a different weighting pattern would result in
a different index score. The indexes included in this paper are
only four of the many indexes that could have been produced using
census data.
In addition to the above conceptual limitations
in the indexes there are a number of technical limitations.
Non-response to individual census items may affect the accuracy of
the indexes if there is a socioeconomic bias to non-response.
Persons in non-private dwellings (e.g. boarding houses, etc.) are
under-represented in the indexes as the variables pertaining to
families and dwellings include only occupied private dwellings. The
census results are based on place of enumeration rather than place
of usual residence, thus holiday resort areas (e.g. Gold Coast) may
be affected.
Other aspects of the indexes that should be
borne in mind when comparing the indexes for different Electoral
Divisions are that:
-
- The indexes are 'ordinal measures' and not 'interval measures',
i.e. the indexes can be used to order Electoral Divisions into a
ranked order but cannot be used to show that one Division is twice
as well-off if its index score is twice that of an other
Division.
-
- The indexes reflect the socioeconomic well-being of an
Electoral Division rather than of individuals. Because all people
in an Electoral Division are not identical the index scores do not
apply to individuals but rather the way people are summed together
for the area.
-
- The degree of heterogeneity within a Collection District
influences the index score of that Collection District and hence
the Electoral Division; the more homogeneous Collection Districts
tend towards the extreme index scores.
-
- Partly because of the above, the interpretation of the index is
more straightforward for Electoral Divisions that have extreme
values. For example, it is usually easy to see why an Electoral
Division with a high index score has that status, but it is more
difficult to draw comparisons between Electoral Divisions with
mid-ranked scores.

Appendix
The indexes in this paper are derived from
Socioeconomic Indexes for Areas produced by the Australian Bureau
of Statistics (ABS). The indexes are based on a variety of
underlying social and economic variables from the 1996 Census on
Population and Housing. The ABS has constructed these indexes for
each Census Collection District (CCD) in Australia. The Indexes for
Commonwealth Electoral Divisions were calculated as a weighted
average of the indexes for the CCDs in each Division (with the
weight being the total population of the CCD). All the indexes
(including the Index of Relative Disadvantage) have been
constructed so that relatively advantaged areas have high index
values. To enable easy recognition of high and low scores, the
index scores have been standardised to have a mean of 1000 and a
standard deviation of 100 across all CCDs in Australia.
The Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage
was constructed by combining two separate indexes-the Urban Index
of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage and the Rural Index of Relative
Socioeconomic Advantage. The urban index covers CCDs in urban
centres with a population of 1000 and over, and the rural index
covers CCDs in the remaining areas of Australia. The urban/rural
split is considered necessary because major structural differences
exist in the relationships between Socioeconomic variables related
to advantage for the urban and rural areas. However, it is possible
to combine the two indexes to produce a composite Index of
Advantage for geographic units that are comprised of both urban and
rural CCDs.
The variables used to construct each index are
given below:
