WHAT'S NEW IN REGIONAL STATISTICS
Welcome to the latest edition of the 'What's New in Regional Statistics' newsletter.
What's in this issue?
This issue contains a feature article, A Faster Way to Find Data for Your Region, which looks at the recently released National Regional Profile, a comprehensive product with a wealth of information about regions within our cities, country towns and rural areas. It includes an overview of the exciting new additions to the product which will be of much interest to new and existing audiences.
The other information in this newsletter is grouped under category headings. Under Economy you will find key data from the two latest releases on sources of Estimates of Personal Income and Wage and Salary Earners, both containing small area level data. Population and People includes highlights from the latest Regional Population Growth release as well as information relating to the 2011 Census. The Industry section presents key findings from the Agricultural Commodities and Australian Wine and Grape Industry releases. Finally the Environment and Energy section includes the latest Water Use on Australian farms release, and a look at the Socio-Economic Context for the Murray-Darling Basin.
We hope you find this newsletter interesting and informative, and we welcome your feedback and comments.
