This paper provides data on four
summary indexes, derived from the 1996 Census of Population and
Housing, to measure different aspects of socio-economic conditions
for Commonwealth Electoral Divisions.
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.(1)
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.(2)
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 holding the
Electoral Division after the 1998 election 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.
There are four indexes shown in this paper. Each index
summarises a different aspect of the socio-economic 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 Socio-Economic Advantage
- Index of Relative Socio-Economic 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 Socio-Economic Advantage
includes variables that measure relative social and economic
well-being. Indicators included are: high income families;
professional occupations; tertiary educational qualifications;
dwellings owner 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 Socio-Economic Advantage was constructed
by combining two indexes-the Urban Index of Relative Socio-Economic
Advantage and the Rural Index of Relative Socio-Economic 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 Socio-Economic
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 Socio-Economic 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 Socio-Economic Advantage will also have a high
score on the Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage. That
is, it is possible for an Electoral Division to contain two
distinct population groups, one relatively well-off and one
relatively less well-off. The Division of Longman in Queensland for
example is ranked 74th (i.e. relatively high) on the
Index of Relative Socio-Economic Advantage, yet is ranked just
19th (i.e. relatively low) on the Index of Relative
Socio-Economic 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.
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 effect 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 socio-economic 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'.
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 socio-economic 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.
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 Socio-Economic 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 Adelaide division of
Bonython. The median divisions (index score where there are an
equal number of divisions above and below that score) are Longman
in Queensland and Gippsland in Victoria.
Most of the 20 highest ranked divisions are located on the north
shore of Sydney (Bradfield, Berowra, North Sydney, Warringah,
Bennelong and Mackellar) 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 three of the top
20 divisions are held by the Liberal Party, the exceptions being
the two ACT divisions (Canberra and Fraser) and Melbourne
Ports.
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,
Wide Bay and Leichhardt, in Queensland and Grey and Barker in South
Australia. Fourteen of the 20 lowest ranked divisions are held by
the Labor Party while the six rural divisions are held equally by
the Liberal Party and the National Party.
Index of Relative Socio-Economic 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 Socio-Economic Advantage described above. It
should be noted that to maintain consistency with the other indexes
this index has 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 the
outer-suburban Sydney division of Fowler, centred on Cabramatta.
The median divisions are Herbert, based on Townsville in north
Queensland, and the northern Perth division of Stirling.
As with the Index of Socio-Economic 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, Gwydir, Lyne and Page
in New South Wales, Wide Bay, Hinkler and Longman in Queensland,
Grey in South Australia and Braddon in Tasmania). 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 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, six by the
National Party and two by the Liberal Party.
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 Longman, located to the north of Brisbane and the
inner-suburban Melbourne. Longman is ranked in the middle
(74th) on the Index of Advantage yet is ranked only
19th on the Index of Disadvantage. Although Longman is
classified as a rural division its southern boundary does contain
some outer-suburbs of Brisbane and it would be the disparity in
incomes between the suburban and rural components that influence
the division's different ranking. The situation in the division of
Melbourne is typical of inner-metropolitan areas containing a
mixture of well off suburbs and not so well off suburbs. The
division of Melbourne is ranked in the top third (105th)
of divisions on the Index of Advantage and is ranked
55th on the index of Disadvantage. Other divisions to
display a wide discrepancy are: Blair in Queensland and Cowper;
Page and Gilmore in New South Wales.
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 South Australian rural division of Grey. The median divisions
are Werriwa in south-western Sydney and Kingston in southern
Adelaide.
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 north-eastern Melbourne
division of Jagajaga.
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 score above the
median.
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 Bonython.
The median divisions are the south-eastern Melbourne division of
Isaacs and the south-eastern Brisbane division of Fadden.
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 eastern suburbs of Melbourne division
of Chisholm. 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 13, 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 11 divisions, while the National
Party holds five and the Liberal Party four.

The indexes in this paper are derived from Socio-Economic
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 Socio-Economic Advantage was constructed
by combining two separate indexes - the Urban Index of Relative
Socio-Economic Advantage and the Rural Index of Relative
Socio-Economic 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 socio-economic 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:
