Abstract

The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) is a hierarchical classification system of geographical regions and consists of a number of interrelated structures. The ASGS brings all the regions for which the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) publishes statistics within the one framework and will be used by the ABS for the collection and dissemination of geographically classified statistics from the 1 July 2011. It provides a common framework of statistical geography and enables the production of statistics which are comparable and can be spatially integrated.

This product, Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Volume 1 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (cat no. 1270.0.55.001), is the first in a series of Volumes that will detail the various structures and regions of the ASGS. Its purpose is to outline the conceptual basis of the regions of the Main Structure and the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas and their relationship to each other. This product contains several elements including the ASGS manual, maps, codes and names and the digital boundaries current for the ASGS Edition 2011 (date of effect 1 July 2011).

The digital boundaries for Volume 1 of the ASGS are the spatial units for the main structure and the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas. These spatial units are:

Mesh Blocks (MB) Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (GCCSA) State and Territory (S/T).

Abstract

Australian Bureau of Statistics Postal Area data. More information can be found on the ABS website.

Postal Areas (POAs) are an ABS approximation of postcodes created to enable the release of ABS data on areas that, as closely as possible, approximate postcodes. This enables the comparison of ABS data with other data collected using postcodes as the geographic reference. Postal Areas are approximated using one or more Mesh Blocks (MBs) from the ASGS. Postal Areas are defined to cover the whole of geographic Australia.

Unlike in 2011 when the Postal Areas were built from Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1), in this edition they have been built from Mesh Blocks, singly or in combination.

The source data is available from the ABS website: 2006 = 2923.0.30.001 - Census of Population and Housing: Census Geographic Areas Digital Boundaries, Australia, 2006 (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/2923.0.30.0012006?OpenDocument) 2011 = 1270.0.55.003 - Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 3 - Non ABS Structures, July 2011 (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/1270.0.55.003July%202011?OpenDocument) 2016 = 1270.0.55.003 - Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 3 - Non ABS Structures, July 2016 (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/1270.0.55.003July%202016?OpenDocument)

Abstract

Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) represent essential socio-economic indicators that are calculated based on Census data in Australia. These indexes play a pivotal role in assessing and understanding the socio-economic landscape of different geographical areas.

SEIFA indexes are updated at regular intervals, precisely every five years, aligning with the national Census data collection cycle. This means that the most recent SEIFA data is derived from the latest Census, providing an up-to-date snapshot of socio-economic conditions across various areas in Australia.

The source data is available from the ABS websites: 1986 = 2033.0.55.001 - Census of Population and Housing: Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), Australia - Data only, 1986 (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/2033.0.55.0011986?OpenDocument) 1996 = 2033.0.55.001 - Census of Population and Housing: Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), Australia - Data only, 1996 (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/2033.0.55.0011996?OpenDocument) 2006 = 2033.0.55.001 - Census of Population and Housing: Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), Australia - Data only, 2006 (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/2033.0.55.0012006?OpenDocument) 2011 = 2033.0.55.001 - Census of Population and Housing: Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), Australia, 2011 (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/2033.0.55.0012011?OpenDocument)

Abstract

The Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) and more recent Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) are hierarchical classification systems of geographical areas consisting of a number of interrelated structures. The data provide a common framework of statistical geography and enables the production of statistics which are comparable and can be spatially integrated.

The source data is available from the ABS website: From 1990 to 2010 = 1216.0 - Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) (https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/second+level+view?ReadForm&prodno=1216.0&viewtitle=Australian%20Standard%20Geographical%20Classification%20(ASGC)~2001~Previous~28/09/2001&&tabname=Past%20Future%20Issues&prodno=1216.0&issue=2001&num=&view=&;) Note: data between 1981 and 1990 are provided by CD ROMS.
