SEIFA21 Economic Resources Index (SA2) ABS 2021

The Census 2021 Economic Resources Index for SA2 data.

Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) in Australia are comprehensive measures that provide insights into the well-being of communities across the country. Developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), SEIFA indices compile census data to evaluate various socio-economic factors, including income, education, employment, and housing conditions. These indices rank areas in Australia according to their relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage, offering a detailed snapshot that helps identify the varying levels of social and economic well-being in different regions. This crucial data assists government bodies, policymakers, and community organisations in understanding disparities across different areas, enabling them to tailor services, allocate funding, and develop initiatives that address specific community needs, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality of life and reduce inequalities across different Australian locales.
