Executive summary
- This paper, a companion to the Monthly
Statistical Bulletin published by the Parliamentary Library, provides tables
and charts for a broad range of social, demographic and economic indicators
across all Australian states and territories, and compares these with Australian
averages.
- Each table presents data for the past five
calendar years to 2019, where available, while each chart plots data for the
calendar year 2019.
- The State Statistical Bulletin is published
twice per year covering data for both the previous financial year and calendar
year.
Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to present a range
of economic and other statistical indicators for the states and territories of
Australia. To facilitate comparisons, indicators are presented in relative
terms such as growth rates, percentages, or proportions of gross state product,
so comparisons can be made using equivalent measures.
This publication is a companion to the Monthly
Statistical Bulletin which contains
Australia-wide data only, but on a more frequent basis.
A glossary of social, demographic and economic terms used in the
tables is provided at the end of this publication.
Data
Sources
Data sources are listed at the bottom of the page for each
indicator. All data is from an original ABS series unless otherwise indicated
as a trend or seasonally adjusted series.
Historical
Data
Long-term data series for
every table in this paper and for the Parliamentary Library’s companion
publication, the Monthly
Statistical Bulletin, are available
electronically and can be found on the Parliamentary Library’s Monthly
Statistical Bulletin and State Statistical
Bulletin pages.
