persons aged 16 years and over, NSW, 2006
| Note: | Estimates are based on 7,837 respondents in NSW. For this indicator 125 (1.57%) were 'not stated' (Don't know or Refused) in NSW. The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) describe the socioeconomic aspects of geographical areas in Australia, using a number of underlying variables such as family and household characteristics, personal educational qualifications, and occupation.[9] The SEIFA index used to provide breakdowns of the New South Wales Population Health Survey data in 2006 is the Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage. This index is calculated on attributes such as low income and educational attainment, high unemployment, and people working in unskilled occupations. The SEIFA index values are grouped into 5 quintiles, with quintile one being the least disadvantaged and quintile 5 being the most disadvantaged. |
