The Inequality Graphs: Time Series presents a comparison of the latest Social Health Atlas of Australia indicators to an earlier time period, where available, by Quintiles of Socioeconomic Disadvantage of Area, for Australia, States/ Territories, and the Capital cities and Rest of State/ Territory areas. For background information and an overview on interpreting the graphs, refer to the Inequality graphs: Introduction.
As of the August 2023 release, the graphs for all Census-derived indicators have been based on the 2021 Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage.
To view the Inequality graph for an indicator, select a topic from the contents list below - or by selecting a topic or indicator of interest from the autocomplete Search filter - and select to view the graph (at the top of each section) for either Australia or your State/ Territory of interest. Within your selected jurisdiction of interest, select to change the area (Capital city, Rest of State/ Territory or State) in the graph software interface. Select another indicator either by re-browsing from the contents list below; or by scrolling to a new 'Topic', and then 'Indicator', within the graph interface.
Please note: The 'Snapshot Builder' within the graphs is not currently working - use the 'Print Graph' function or take a screenshot.
