LATEST ISSUE RELEASED 17/06/2008

• What are the key trends in health, education, crime and the environment?

NSW in Focus, 2008 (cat. no. 1338.1) provides a snapshot of activity within the state. Drawing on both ABS and non-ABS sources, NSW in Focus has twelve chapters presenting a rich range of social, economic and environmental data. The population chapter presents data on estimated resident population (ERP), components of population change, the Indigenous population, life expectancy, infant mortality rates and regional mobility.

New in this year's publication is the inclusion of "Statistical Highlights" which provides some analysis and graphs on selected indicators. Each chapter also features a summary table of selected indicators allowing users to track changes over time, and a list of data sources which are a helpful reference for further research.
