ABOUT THIS RELEASE
Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas 2001 (SEIFA 2001) - Data only product, which provides the four indexes developed by the ABS in .XLS format. The ABS has developed indexes to allow ranking of regions/areas, providing a method of determining the level of social and economic wellbeing in that region.
The four indexes are:
Index of Advantage\Disadvantage

Index of Economic Resources
Index of Education and Occupation
These indexes show where the affluent (as opposed to just high income earning) live; where disadvantaged (as opposed to the unemployed) live: and where the highly skilled and educated (as opposed to the tertiary educated people) live.
