4Community Insight Australia

Community Insight Australia is a web-based data mapping tool. It visualises publicly available data about Australians. It was established to inform the design and delivery of services, but can be used for many other purposes. We encourage you to use and reuse the information in this report. As you generate reports for different areas, the format will remain the same, so you can compare charts for different areas by cutting and pasting them into the same document. You can also use your comparator areas for this purpose. The comparator areas are the other two areas on many of the charts in this report. These areas can be changed. Contact your administrator or [email protected] to change comparator areas.

Our social impact is dependent on the decisions people make using the tool and reports! Some of our subscribers use Community Insight Australia reports to provide information for applicants to tenders or grants, asking them to demonstrate that their proposals will meet the needs of the target community. Some subscribers are using the tool to present research and maps in their publications. Others are using the maps to bring people together in discussions about place-based programs; to start with a common understanding of what the issues are and where. We look forward to hearing how the information in this report helps you serve your communities.

We are a social enterprise, which means our decisions are made to maximise mission before profit. Our mission is access to location-based information for social purpose organisations. 75% of profits are reinvested to improve the tool and its affordability.

This report is based on the definition of the “Tennant Creek” area created by Fremantle, (you can view this area on the Community Insight Australia map by selecting ‘My areas’ on the grey menu and then the ‘View on Map’ button next to “Tennant Creek”). We have aggregated data for all the neighbourhoods in “Tennant Creek” to create the charts and tables used in this report. This aggregation is more accurate for larger areas than for smaller areas.Alongside data for the “Tennant Creek”, we also show data for selected comparator areas: Mosman, North Sydney and Australia.

What information is shown here?

The information on this page shows the number of people living in Tennant Creek. These population figures provide detail of the structure of the population by broad age bands and sex. The information boxes break down the overall population by gender, followed by young people, working age (15-64), 65+ and families with young children. Census data is published by statistical area level 1 (SA1), which is, on average, around 400 households. It is the most accurate estimate for small area populations immediately following publications, but becomes less reliable over time.

Estimate Resident Population (ERP) is estimated as at 30 June each year and published by statistical area level 2 (SA2). When we disaggregate this for small areas, we assume this population is spread evenly over the area.

The population density is calculated by dividing the population of the area (Census 2016) by its area in square kilometres (ABS 3218.0 - Regional Population Growth, Australia, 2016). The result is expressed as a number of people per square kilometre. The charts on the next two pages show population by broad age group, by age and gender breakdowns and projections to 2027.

This page shows a summary of Indigenous populations by age and gender. Indigenous populations are defined as persons who identified as being of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin in the Census.The percentages in the blue boxes with breakdowns by age and gender, and the population pyramid below, show the percentage of the Indigenous population that falls into each age bracket. So if Males age 10-14 is 12%, it means that 12% of the Indigenous males in the area are aged 10-14.

The information on this page shows the composition of households in Tennant Creek. Social Marital Status is applicable to all persons aged 15 years and over who were usually resident and present in the household on Census Night. It is not applicable to persons in non‐private dwellings. Social marital status is the relationship status of an individual to another person who is usually resident in the household. For the purpose of this data collection, a marriage exists when two people live together as husband and wife, or partners, regardless of whether the marriage is formalised through registration. Individuals are, therefore, regarded as married if they are in a de facto marriage, or if they are living with the person to whom they are registered as legally married. Note: de facto marriage for opposite sex couples includes persons who report de facto, partner, common law husband/wife/spouse, lover, girlfriend or boyfriend. Where information about same‐sex couples is volunteered in the relationship question it is included in the family coding and the person is classified as a partner in a de facto marriage.Widowed refers to a person whose spouse in a registered marriage has died and who has not remarried.Divorced refers to a person who has formally ended his or her registered marriage by legal means and who has not remarried. People who have obtained a decree nisi are considered to be divorced.Note: a person who has formally ended a registered marriage and has remarried is classified as married only. They are not counted as divorced.

The information on the right shows the number of people in Tennant Creek by ancestry. A person's ancestry, when used in conjunction with the person's country of birth and whether the person's parents were born in Australia or overseas, provides a good indication of the ethnic background of first and second generation Australians. Ancestry is particularly useful to identify distinct ethnic or cultural groups within Australia such as Maoris or Australian South Sea Islanders, and groups which are spread across countries such as Kurds or Indians, where country of birth does not identify these groups. The 2016 Census uses the Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG) 2016 to classify responses given to the ancestry question. More detail on Australia’s most common 20 ancestries by parents’ country of birth and languages spoken at home is on page 10. Note: respondents can identify more than one ancestry – see question belowQuestion 18 (Census 2016)

What is the Person's ancestry? Provide up to two ancestries only. Responses available are: English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, German,

Chinese, Australian, and 'Other - please specify'. The response 'Other - please specify' requires a written response. Examples of 'Other - please specify' are GREEK, VIETNAMESE, HMONG, DUTCH, KURDISH, MAORI, LEBANESE, AUSTRALIAN SOUTH SEA ISLANDER.

The information on the right shows the number of people in Tennant Creek born in Australia and outside Australia (percentages may not sum to 100, as ‘Not stated’ is an output category in this Census question). It also shows people who speak languages other than English at home and those who speak English not well or not at all. Responses to the question on speaking English well are subjective. For example, one respondent may consider that a response of 'well' is appropriate if they can communicate well enough to do the shopping while another respondent of similar English proficiency may respond with ‘not well’ . Proficiency in spoken English should be regarded as an indicator of a person's ability to speak English and should be interpreted with care. Nevertheless, it is a useful indicator of the ethnicity of the population and for the planning and provision of multilingual services.

Centrelink Payments: Students and unemployed people 22 Newstart Allowance is the major payment for unemployed

people who are 22 and over, but under the qualifying age for the Age Pension (65). Recipients must satisfy the activity test by seeking work or participating in an activity designed to improve their employment prospects.

Youth Allowance (other) is the primary income support payment for young people aged 16‒21 years who are seeking or preparing for paid employment. Some 15 year olds may also receive assistance. To qualify for Youth Allowance (other) a person must be unemployed, aged under 22, looking for work or combining part‐time study with job search, or undertaking any other approved activity, or temporarily incapacitated for work or study.

Note: To calculate rates (the percentages in the blue boxes below the total number), we divide the number of recipients by the population of eligible age at the last Census. For areas that have experienced significant change in population since the last Census, these rates are not reliable.

Centrelink Payments: Older people 26


Age Pension is a support payment for people who have reached the qualifying age. From 1 July 2013, the qualifying age for both men and women is 65 years. From 1 July 2017 the Age Pension qualifying age will progressively increase from 65 years to 67 years, reaching 67 years in 2023.

The Commonwealth Seniors Health Card is claimed by people who have reached the qualifying age for the Age Pension but do not qualify for a pension. To qualify for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, a person must also meet an adjusted taxable income test. The Commonwealth Seniors Health Card provides access to health concessions, including cheaper pharmaceutical medicines.

The Pension Concession Card is automatically issued to pensioners and eligible allowance recipients to provide access to health concessions, including cheaper pharmaceutical medicines.

Widow Allowance provides income support for older working age women who lose the support of a partner and face barriers to finding employment because of limited participation. Access to Widow Allowance is restricted with new grants only being made available to women who were born on or before 1 July 1955.

Note: To calculate rates (the percentages in the blue boxes below the total number), we divide the number of recipients by the population of eligible age at the last Census. For areas that have experienced significant change in the number of people over 65 since the last Census, these rates are not reliable.

The information in this section shows a summary of persons with need for assistance for disabilities, by gender. The information boxes show the proportion of the population with need for assistance (for disabilities). There were 4 questions in the Census on need for assistance. The first three asked if a person needed assistance with each of the activities of self-care, mobility and communication; the fourth asked why this assistance was needed. If a person indicated that they needed assistance in one or more of the three activities because of a disability, long term health problem or the effects of old age, they were categorised as 'having need for assistance'. Other reasons for assistance that are not included in the information to the right are short-term health conditions (lasting less than six months), long-term health conditions (lasting six months or more), old or young age, difficulty with English language, and other causes.Figure: Persons with need for assistance by genderSource: Census 2016

The information in this section looks at data for GP attendances in-hours and after-hours from the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and Emergency Department (ED) attendances from the National Non-admitted Patient Emergency Department Care Database (NNAPEDCD).Specialist attendances are Medicare benefits-funded referred patient/doctor encounters, such as visits, consultations and attendances by video conference, involving medical practitioners who have been recognised as specialists or consultant physicians for Medicare benefits purposes. MBS statistics exclude services provided free of charge to public patients in hospitals, to Department of Veterans Affairs beneficiaries, some patients under compensation arrangements, and through other publicly funded programs.GP attendances in-hours and after-hours from the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and Emergency Department (ED) attendances from the National Non-admitted Patient Emergency Department Care Database (NNAPEDCD). In-hours GP attendances are all non-referred Medicare benefit-funded patient/doctor encounters excluding urgent and non-urgent after-hours attendances. Services provided by practice nurses and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners on the GP’s behalf are excluded from the analysis.Age-standardisation is an adjustment of the rate so that communities can be compared even their age profiles are different e.g. people in one area might be older than the other.

The information in this section looks at data on cancer screening, incidence and deaths. National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) - Participation is measured as the percentage of people invited to screen in a 24-month period who returned a completed screening test within the defined 24-month period or following six months, excluding those who opted off or suspended from the program without completing the test. The target group is asymptomatic Australians aged 50–74. BreastScreen Australia - Participation is measured as the percentage of women in the population aged 50–74 screened by BreastScreen Australia in a 24-month period. National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) - Participation is measured as the percentage of women in the population aged 20–69 who had at least one Pap test in a 24-month period.Age-standardised incidence rates for selected cancers - Incidence refers to the number of new cancer cases diagnosed during 2006-2010. Population is the sum of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Estimated Resident Populations for females, males or all persons (dependant on cancer type) as at 30 June for each year between 2006-2010. The rates were age standardised to the 2001 Australian Standard Population and are expressed per 100,000 population. Age-standardisation is an adjustment of the rate so that communities can be compared even their age profiles are different e.g. people in one area might be older than the other.

diagnosis of dementia)) Intentional self-harm includes all hospitalisations with an

ICD-10-AM external cause code of X60–X84 or Y87.0. Rates refer to the area where a person lives, not the location of the hospital where they were admitted. Hospitalisations from both public and private hospitals are included. Overnight hospitalisations are stays in hospital for a minimum of one night. Bed days are the number of days admitted patients are in hospital. Specialised care is provided in a specialised psychiatric unit; non-specialised care is provided in a general hospital ward. A hospitalisation is counted as specialised care when at least one day of care is provided in a specialised psychiatric unit. Specialised care bed days are

The information on this page looks at lifestyle behaviours of people living in Tennant Creek. Lifestyle behaviours are risk factors which play a major part in an individual’s health outcomes and will have varying physical and psychological consequences. The first information box shows the percentage of adults who are daily smokers. An adult refers to participants aged 18 years and over. A current daily smoker was defined as a person who smokes one or more cigarettes, roll-your-own cigarettes, cigars or pipes at least once a day. Chewing tobacco and the smoking of non-tobacco products were excluded. The data were collected via the ABS National Health Survey and excludes adults living in non-private dwellings, very remote areas, and discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.The overweight and obese data was calculated using data from the ABS National Health Survey (NHS) 2011–12 and the ABS National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) 2011–12. Consenting participants were measured using digital weighing scales to measure weight and a stadiometer to measure height. Survey participants aged 18 years and over were classified as overweight if their Body Mass Index (BMI) was greater than or equal to 25 and less than 30, or obese if their BMI was greater than or equal to 30. BMI scores were calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m). Survey excludes adults living in non-private dwellings, very remote areas, and discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The long-term risky drinking data shows the proportion of the population (aged 15+) reporting average alcohol consumption of more than two standard drinks per day over the past year. Calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) from the 2014–15 National Health Survey (NHS).This data was accessed through the AIHW’s http://www.myhealthycommunities.gov.au and may be sourced from parties other than the AIHW.

The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) are calculated by the ABS and rank areas in Australia according to socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. The indexes are based on information from the five-yearly Census. A lower score indicates that an area is relatively disadvantaged compared to an area with a higher score.Of the four indexes, the Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) seems to be the one that is most commonly used to target services at those who need them most. The chart on this page summarises the following indexes:

Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) is a general socio-economic index that summarises a range of information about the economic and social conditions of people and households within an area. The index identifies areas with lower educational attainment, people in low-skilled occupations, low employment and other indicators of disadvantage. Unlike the other indexes, this index includes only measures of relative disadvantage.

Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD) summarises information about the economic and social conditions of people and households within an area, including both relative advantage and disadvantage measures. This index is constructed using a number of different variables that indicate both advantage (i.e. high income, having a degree qualification) and disadvantage (i.e. unemployment status, low income, not enough bedrooms).

It is important to remember that the scores are an ordinal measure. For example, an area with a score of 1000 is not twice as advantaged as an area with a score of 500.

Percentiles divide a distribution into 100 equal groups. In the case of SEIFA, the distribution of scores is divided into 100 equal groups. The lowest scoring 1% of areas are given a percentile number of 1, the second-lowest 1% of areas are given a percentile number of 2 and so on, up to the highest

The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) are calculated by the ABS and rank areas in Australia according to socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. The chart on this page summarises the following indexes as a comparative measure of disadvantaged areas. For both indexes, lower score indicates that an area is relatively disadvantaged compared to an area with a higher score:

Index of Economic Resources (IER) focuses on the financial aspects of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage, by summarising variables related to income and wealth including variables such as income, rent paid, home ownership and mortgage payments. It excludes education and occupation variables because they are not direct measures of economic resources.

Index of Education and Occupation (IEO) is designed to reflect the educational and occupational level of communities. The education variables in this index show level of school and university education and other qualifications. The occupation variables classify the workforce into high and low skilled jobs according to the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and also whether they are unemployed. This index does not include any income variables.

It is important to remember that the scores are an ordinal measure. For example, an area with a score of 1000 is not twice as advantaged as an area with a score of 500.

Percentiles divide a distribution into 100 equal groups. In the case of SEIFA, the distribution of scores is divided into 100 equal groups. The lowest scoring 1% of areas are given a percentile number of 1, the second-lowest 1% of areas are given a percentile number of 2 and so on, up to the highest 1% of areas which are given a percentile number of 100.

The information on this page summarises house prices and costs of housing.

Weekly rent records the individual dollar amounts of rent paid by households on a weekly basis for the dwelling in which they were enumerated on Census Night, for all dwelling types (including caravans etc. in caravan parks). The Census is the only source of rent data for small areas and for small groups of the population. Such data are important for housing policy and planning, and for studying the housing conditions of Figure: Median house sale price ($)

Monthly mortgage repayments shows the median monthly mortgage repayment in Australian dollars ($).This variable records the mortgage repayments being paid by a household to purchase the dwelling in which they were enumerated on Census Night, for all dwelling types (also applicable to caravans).

The housing affordability indicator is calculated by dividing the median house sale price by the median household income. Median house sale price data is taken from the ABS 1410.0 Data by Region dataset. It is based on the ABS, Residential Property Price Indexes and was provided by the state and territory Land Titles Office or Valuers General Office in each capital city. The ABS then applies classifications to create the residential property sales dataset, from which these statistics are produced.

Tenure describes whether a household rents or owns the dwelling in which they were counted on Census Night, or whether they occupy it under another arrangement. Tenure type is derived from the responses to a series of questions. It is applicable to all occupied private dwellings. The landlord type variable provides information on the type of landlord for rented dwellings. It applies to all households who are renting the dwelling (including caravans, etc. in caravan parks) in which they are enumerated on Census Night. Landlord Type allows data to be produced for studies of the socioeconomic characteristics of tenants of public authority housing. It also allows for comparisons with tenants in privately owned accommodation.

Own home refers to dwellings that were occupied by the owners on Census Night, whether they are owned with or without a mortgage.

The information boxes show the number and percentage of people moving between addresses in Tennant Creek.The Census asks a series of questions relating to each person's usual address. Questions ask for a person’s usual address at Census night, usual address one year ago and usual address five years ago. ‘Usually live’ means the address at which the person has lived, or intends to live, for a total of six months or more that year (percentages may not sum to 100, as ‘Not stated’ is an output category in these Census questions).Data collected in the Census only reflect movements which coincide with these particular points in time (i.e. one year ago)

The information on this page summarises internet connection types by dwellings.For the 2011 Census the internet question relates to the dwelling rather than to the person. The question asks, 'Can the Internet be accessed at this dwelling? For 2011, this instruction has changed and respondents are asked to report the most frequently used type (in 2006 they were asked to report the higher type). Only one type is recorded. The question also asks for the type of connection.In 2016, the question has been changed to a simple yes/no question asking 'Does anyone in this household access the internet from this dwelling', with consequent changes to the output categories.Figure: Type of internet connectionSource: Census 2011

This page looks at early years progress according to the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC). The AEDC is a nationwide data collection of early childhood development at the time children commence their first year of full-time school. The AEDC highlights what is working well and what needs to be improved or developed to support children and their families by providing evidence to support health, education and community policy and planning. The AEDC is held every three years. This means a different group of children are completing each census, so the line graph compares different groups of children, NOT the same group every three years.The census involves teachers of children in their first year of full-time school completing a research tool, the Australian version of the Early Development Instrument. The Instrument collects data relating to five key areas of early childhood development referred to as ‘domains’, these include: Physical health and well-being; Social competence; Emotional maturity; Language and cognitive skills; Communication skills and general knowledge. The AEDC domains have been shown to predict later health, wellbeing and academic success. For more information on the domains see http://www.aedc.gov.au/about-the-aedc/about-the-aedc-domains

The information on this page looks at family, household and personal incomes. Weekly income data records the income level of people aged 15 years and over. Personal incomes are collected as ranges in the Census. To enable these range values to be summed, information from the Survey of Income and Housing, which collects income as individual values, is used to estimate the median income within each bracket collected by the Census. The relevant median value for each family/household member is then summed to produce family or household income.Interpreting medians: Half the people in the area have a higher income then the median personal income and the other half have a lower income than the median personal income. Likewise, half the families have a higher income than the median family income and half the households have a higher income than the median household income.

The information on this page shows economic activity breakdowns for adults aged 15 and over in Tennant Creek. Most of this data comes from the Census. A person is considered to be working full-time if they worked more than 35 hours in all jobs during the week prior to Census Night. A person is considered to be working part-time if they worked less than 35 hours in all jobs during the week prior to Census Night. A person is considered to unemployed if they were looking for full or part time work on the week prior to Census Night.People who are not in the labour force include students, retirees, people performing home duties, people with disabilities or long term health conditions and those who were not looking for work because they believed they would not find a job. For more information about people not in the labour force see ABS Catalogue 6220.0The line graph shows data published quarterly by the Department of Employment. It shows the proportion of the total labour force that are unemployed based on small area labour markets unemployment and labour force statistics. Small Area Labour Markets presents regional estimates of unemployment and the unemployment rate for approximately 2,100 Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) Statistical Area Level 2s (SA2s) and for each of Australia’s 550 Local Government Areas (LGAs). The estimates are smoothed using a four quarter average to minimise the variability inherent in small area estimates.

The information in this section shows the number and proportion of businesses by size and turnover. The data is released as a time series of annual snapshots under ABS catalogue number 8165.0 - Counts of Australian Businesses, including Entries and Exits. It contains counts and rates of business entries and exits from the Australian economy as well as counts of the survival of businesses.Most businesses in Australia need to obtain an Australian Business Number (ABN). These businesses are then included on the whole of government register of businesses, the Australian Business Register (ABR). The ABS uses information from the ABR as well as data supplied by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) to populate its internal register of businesses, the Australian Bureau of Statistics Business Register (ABSBR). Only businesses registered for GST are included. Business entities with a turnover below $75,000 do not have to register for GST, so those who have not registered will not be included in these counts. Main business address is used to determine location. Businesses that are large, complex and diverse are broken down by the ABS to ‘activity units’ which are more similar to other businesses. For these activity units, the state of highest employment is used, which may not be the main business address.This data was published down to SA2 level.

The information on this page shows the methods of travel to work in Tennant Creek.

The data records up to three methods of travel to work on the day of the Census, for each person aged 15 years and over who was employed during the week before the Census. It should be noted that it refers to method on the day of the Census, not usual method used.

The question on method of travel (Question 45) allowed for multiple answers in all categories except walked only, worked at home, and did not go to work; for example, a journey to work by car as the driver, by ferry and then bus, would be recorded as such, i.e. all three modes would be coded. Statistics gathered from this question give an indication of the way people travelled to work on Census day, however, some issues in practical application of the statistics should be noted when they are used in conjunction with Place of Work (POWP) data. The following points should be particularly noted: Method of travel to work and journey to work travel involve different time periods.

The chart shows the proportion of people travelling to work by public transport. Public transport includes train, tram/light rail, ferry and bus.
