APPENDIX 1 DECILES FOR INCOME ITEMS
INCOME DECILE CUT-OFFS
A number of income items are expressed as deciles. These deciles are those determined from the 2004-05 NHS and as such are representative of Australian income deciles rather than Indigenous income deciles. For details on how the deciles were derived, refer to the National Health Survey: Users' Guide (cat. no. 4363.0.55.001).
To assist in the use and interpretation of these items, the $ amounts contained in each decile are shown in the following table. Cases where the income was not available are recorded as not stated or not applicable and were excluded before the deciles were calculated.
