These reports provide maps of disadvantage for suburbs and towns based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) 2006. The index combines census variables relating to income, education, occupation, wealth and living conditions. Data are also provided to describe the population make-up of the most disadvantaged areas.
