summary
- This paper, a companion to the Key Economic and Social Indicator
dashboard 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 last five years to 2021–22 (or
the latest data available), while each chart plots data for the financial year
2021–22 (or the latest data available).
- Data used is the latest available as at September 20, 2022.
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 Key
Economic and Social Indicator dashboard 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 Key
Economic and Social Indicator dashboard is available electronically and can
be found on the Parliamentary Library’s Key Economic and Social Indicator
dashboard and State
Statistical Bulletin pages.
