MEASURES AND DATA SOURCES
A5.1
Appendix 5 Measures and data sources
Introduction
The following table summarises the major measures and data sources used to report against the indicators in this report. Unless otherwise noted, all measures are:
• disaggregated by Indigenous status (Indigenous/non-Indigenous or Indigenous/total population)
• reported at a national (Australian total) level.
Many rates were calculated by combining data from various sources. Depending on the time period required, Indigenous population figures have been sourced from:
• data from the ABS Census of Population and Housing are compared to the number of Indigenous people identified in the Census (this provides internal consistency as both the numerator and the denominator are from the same source)
• data as at June 2006 are compared to the ABS estimate of the Indigenous population as at June 2006 (ABS 2007). This estimate is based on adjusted 2006 Census data
• data for other years generally are compared to the ABS ‘low series’ experimental projections of the Indigenous population for those years (ABS 2004). These projections are based on adjusted 2001 Census data and a set of assumptions about likely trends in Indigenous population growth (box 2.6.1). Indigenous population estimates and projections based on the 2006 Census are expected to be released later in 2009.
References to data sources are summarised in the table. Many data sources are referenced as ‘unpublished’. This means that the particular data items cited in the Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage report are not included in a standard publication but have been made available on request by the data providers.
A list of acronyms and full references for data sources are provided at the end of the appendix.
