EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This paper analyses data from the 2006 Census of Population and Housing for the
NSW State Electoral Districts (SED). Data was provided by the Australian Bureau
of Statistics in relation to the State electoral boundaries as redistributed in
2007. Data for each characteristic is presented in two tables. The first ranks
each SED on the relative value of the selected data item. The second table
presents the same information but with each SED listed in alphabetical order.
The average score for each data item is included at the end of each table and
the median score is shown by the 47th position (underlined).
Averages for each region (Metropolitan, Central Coast, Illawarra, Newcastle,
North Coast and Country) are also noted. Definitions of the various
characteristics are provided and should be read in conjunction with the tables.
