How to read the data tables | |||||||||||||
Most of the tables in the report have the same arrangement,
showing the number of Indigenous residents of Australia in each category (the
rows), and the proportions and difference from: • the non-Indigenous community, • the Indigenous people in NSW, and • the Indigenous community of Australia in 2006 and 2001. |
|||||||||||||
In the tables, the 'Indig diff' is the proportion in the local Indigenous community minus that in the non-Indigenous community. The 'local diff' is the proportion in the local Indigenous people minus that in the wider Indigenous community. The 'change 06–11' column shows the proportions of Indigenous people locally in 2011 minus the proportions in 2006, unless otherwise stated. Where differences are less than 1%, they are shown as '0% more' if slightly positive, '0% less' if slightly negative. Note that percentages are rounded to the nearest number, and so when added may differ slightly from the Total shown. | |||||||||||||
Some people did not complete all the questions on the Census form; when this occurs, they are shown in the tables as 'not stated'. Where the number of people in a table of Census data is just a few, the number may have been randomly changed to protect privacy, generally to either 0 or 3. This means very small numbers are not accurate and some columns may not add up exactly. | |||||||||||||
The Gender Ratio is the ratio of the number of males to females.
If there are more males, the ratio (males ÷ females) is shown in blue, say, 1.5 M:F if 3 men and 2 women (or M if all males). If there are more females, the ratio (females ÷ males) is shown in red say, 1.6 F:M if 8 women for 5 men (or F if all females). The Gender ratio is shown as "=" if numbers of males and females are equal. |

Statistically, generations are counted over the 15 years between four Censuses. The 'Baby-boomer' generation, for example, was born between 1946 and 1961. These people were 50–64 years old in 2011, and include many current Indigenous leaders. Before them were born the Wartime generations who are now the elders in Indigenous communities, aged over 65 in 2011. Younger adults are members of generations often called Gen X (born 1961 to 1976) and Gen Y (born 1976 to 1991). They are the parents of the youmgest full generation, Gen Z, born 1991 to 2006. Infants born since since 2006, aged under 5 in 2011, form part of the next, unnamed Generation. | |||||||||||||

Percentages include 'not stated'. Average incomes are calculated by multiplying the proportion in each income band by mid-point of band, using 1,500 for the 1,000+ band for indigenous, and more detailed data for high-income residents. The median income for 2011 is from the ABS. The 2001 median is the mid-point of the median range given by the ABS (eg 600-699 becomes 650).

Taking the first adult in the household as having a weight of 1 point, each additional person who is 15 years or older is allocated 0.5 points, and each child under the age of 15 is allocated 0.3 points. Equivalised household income is derived by dividing total household income by a factor equal to the sum of the equivalence points allocated to the household members. The equivalised income of a lone person household is the same as its unequivalised income. The equivalised income of a household comprising more than one person lies between the total value and the per capita value of its unequivalised income. | |||
