Literacy data can assist with identification of 'at risk' groups, evaluation of current literacy programs, and provision of information for the planning of future literacy policies and teaching strategies. The article 'Literacy of South Australians' provides an overview of the literacy levels of South Australians in 2006 using data from the Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (ALLS) (cat. no. 4228.0). This survey collected information on the knowledge and skills of Australians across four literacy domains: prose literacy; document literacy; numeracy; and problem solving.

Presents colour maps, based on data collected in the 2006 Census of Population and Housing, that highlight key social, demographic and housing characteristics of the population in Adelaide and two selected regional centres in South Australia, i.e. Mt. Gambier and Whyalla. The maps highlight the diversity that exists across these cities and regional centres and are easy to interpret as the distribution of the data are represented by different colours and shading. Brief commentary explaining the main features and characteristics also accompany each map.
