Note: Estimates are based on 7,841 respondents in NSW. For this indicator 121 (1.52%) were 'not stated' (Don't know or Refused) in NSW. The Accessibility-Remoteness Index of Australia Plus (ARIA+) is the standard Australian Bureau of Statistics endorsed measure of remoteness. It is derived using the road distances from populated localities to the nearest service centres across Australia. ARIA+ is grouped into 5 categories: major cities, inner regional, outer regional, remote, and very remote, using postcodes from survey respondents.
