Community Insight Australia

Community Insight Australia is a web-based data mapping tool. It visualises publicly

available data about Australians. It was established to inform the design and delivery of

services, but can be used for many other purposes.

We encourage you to use and reuse the information in this report. As you generate

reports for different areas, the format will remain the same, so you can compare charts

for different areas by cutting and pasting them into the same document. You can also

use your comparator areas for this purpose. The comparator areas are the other two

areas on many of the charts in this report. These areas can be changed. Contact your

administrator or [email protected] to change comparator areas.

Our social impact is dependent on the decisions people make using the tool and

reports! Some of our subscribers use Community Insight Australia reports to provide

information for applicants to tenders or grants, asking them to demonstrate that their

proposals will meet the needs of the target community. Some subscribers are using the

tool to present research and maps in their publications. Others are using the maps to

bring people together in discussions about place-based programs; to start with a

common understanding of what the issues are and where. We look forward to hearing

how the information in this report helps you serve your communities.

We are a social enterprise, which means our decisions are made to maximise mission

before profit. Our mission is access to location-based information for social purpose

organisations. 75% of profits are reinvested to improve the tool and its affordability.

Financial sustainability is crucial to how we operate. We generate revenue through

organisational subscriptions to our tool and sales of these reports. Community Insight

Australia Pty Ltd is registered with the Australian Securities and Investment

Commission as a Company Limited by Shares (Proprietary Limited). It has Australian

Company Number 118 700 119 and Australian Business Number 36 118 700 119.

About the indicators

Community Insight Australia gives you access to over 500 social indicators. These

indicators are either publicly available data in its original form, or calculated from

publicly available data. Publicly available data includes open data and official

statistics. All representations of indicators in this report and in the software can be

republished without seeking any permission. When republishing, the source of the

data must be cited. When reproducing words, graphs or other visual items from this

report or the software, Community Insight Australia must be acknowledged, as well as

How we have identified the “Fremantle” area

This report is based on the definition of the “Fremantle” area created by Fremantle,

(you can view this area on the Community Insight Australia map by selecting ‘My

areas’ on the grey menu and then the ‘View on Map’ button next to “Fremantle”). We

have aggregated data for all the neighbourhoods in “Fremantle” to create the charts

and tables used in this report. This aggregation is more accurate for larger areas than

for smaller areas.

Alongside data for the “Fremantle”, we also show data for selected comparator areas:

Australia and Western Australia.

Community Insight (UK), OCSI and HACT

Community Insight Australia is based on Community Insight UK platform developed by

HACT and OCSI.

OCSI develop and interpret the evidence base to help the public and community

organisations deliver better services. A 'spin-out' from the University of Oxford Social

Policy Institute, OCSI have worked with more than 100 public and community sector

clients at local, national and international level. See www.ocsi.co.uk for more.

HACT is UK housing’s ideas and innovation agency. They identify, research,

incubate, apply and promote innovative thinking, practice and products in the social

housing sector and beyond. See www.hact.org.uk for more.

What information is shown here?

The information on this page shows the number of people living in Fremantle. These

population figures provide detail of the structure of the population by broad age bands

and sex. The information boxes break down the overall population by gender, followed

by young people, working age (15-64), 65+ and families with young children.

Census data is published by statistical area level 1 (SA1), which is, on average, around

400 households. It is the most accurate estimate for small area populations immediately

following publications, but becomes less reliable over time.

Estimate Resident Population (ERP) is estimated as at 30 June each year and

published by statistical area level 2 (SA2). When we disaggregate this for small areas,

we assume this population is spread evenly over the area.

The population density is calculated by dividing the population of the area (Census

2018) by its area in square kilometres (ABS 3218.0 - Regional Population Growth,

Australia, 2018). The result is expressed as a number of people per square kilometre.

The charts on the next two pages show population by broad age group, by age and

gender breakdowns and projections to 2027.

This page shows a summary of Indigenous populations by age and gender.

Indigenous populations are defined as persons who identified as being of

Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin in the Census.

The percentages in the blue boxes with breakdowns by age and gender, and

the population pyramid below, show the percentage of the Indigenous

population that falls into each age bracket. So if Males age 10-14 is 12%, it

means that 12% of the Indigenous males in the area are aged 10-14.

The information on this page shows the composition of households in Fremantle.

Social Marital Status is applicable to all persons aged 15 years and over who were usually

resident and present in the household on Census Night. It is not applicable to persons in

non‐private dwellings. Social marital status is the relationship status of an individual to

another person who is usually resident in the household. For the purpose of this data

collection, a marriage exists when two people live together as husband and wife, or

partners, regardless of whether the marriage is formalised through registration. Individuals

are, therefore, regarded as married if they are in a de facto marriage, or if they are living

with the person to whom they are registered as legally married.

Note: de facto marriage for opposite sex couples includes persons who report de facto,

partner, common law husband/wife/spouse, lover, girlfriend or boyfriend. Where

information about same‐sex couples is volunteered in the relationship question it is

included in the family coding and the person is classified as a partner in a de facto

marriage.

Widowed refers to a person whose spouse in a registered marriage has died and who has

not remarried.

Divorced refers to a person who has formally ended his or her registered marriage by

legal means and who has not remarried. People who have obtained a decree nisi are

considered to be divorced.

Note: a person who has formally ended a registered marriage and has remarried is

classified as married only. They are not counted as divorced.

The information on the right shows the estimated number of people who were likely to

have been homeless on Census night in 2016 compared to 2011.

This includes the following groups of people:

Persons living in improvised dwellings, tents or sleeping out;

Persons in supported accommodation for the homeless;

Persons staying temporarily with other households;

Persons living in boarding houses;

Persons in other temporary lodgings; and

Persons living in 'severely' crowded dwellings.

Homelessness is defined by the ABS: When a person does not have suitable

accommodation alternatives they are considered homeless if their current living

arrangement:

is in a dwelling that is inadequate; or

has no tenure, or if their initial tenure is short and not extendable; or

does not allow them to have control of, and access to space for social relations.

Further information on the definition of homelessness can be found in the Information

Paper - Methodology for Estimating Homelessness from the Census of Population and

Housing, 2012 (cat. no. 2049.0.55.001)

The information on the right shows the number of people in Fremantle by

ancestry.

A person's ancestry, when used in conjunction with the person's country of birth

and whether the person's parents were born in Australia or overseas, provides a

good indication of the ethnic background of first and second generation

Australians. Ancestry is particularly useful to identify distinct ethnic or cultural

groups within Australia such as Maoris or Australian South Sea Islanders, and

groups which are spread across countries such as Kurds or Indians, where

country of birth does not identify these groups. The 2016 Census uses the

Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG)

2016 to classify responses given to the ancestry question. More detail on

Australia’s most common 20 ancestries by parents’ country of birth and

languages spoken at home is on page 10.

Note: respondents can identify more than one ancestry – see question below

Question 18 (Census 2016)

What is the Person's ancestry?

Provide up to two ancestries only.

Responses available are: English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, German, Chinese,

Australian, and 'Other - please specify'. The response 'Other - please specify'

requires a written response. Examples of 'Other - please specify' are GREEK,

VIETNAMESE, HMONG, DUTCH, KURDISH, MAORI, LEBANESE,

AUSTRALIAN SOUTH SEA ISLANDER.

The information on the right shows the number of people in Fremantle born in Australia and

outside Australia (percentages may not sum to 100, as ‘Not stated’ is an output category in

this Census question). It also shows people who speak languages other than English at

home and those who speak English not well or not at all. Responses to the question on

speaking English well are subjective. For example, one respondent may consider that a

response of 'well' is appropriate if they can communicate well enough to do the shopping

while another respondent of similar English proficiency may respond with ‘not well’ .

Proficiency in spoken English should be regarded as an indicator of a person's ability to

speak English and should be interpreted with care. Nevertheless, it is a useful indicator of

the ethnicity of the population and for the planning and provision of multilingual services.

More detail on country of birth and year of arrival is on page 11.

The information on the right shows the number of people living in Fremantle by religious

belief, categorised by the five most common religions, other religion and no religion.

A question on religious denomination has been included in all Australian censuses, but

answering this question has always been optional. The option not to answer this

question is provided for in legislation. Responses to the religion question are coded to

the Australian Standard Classification of Religious Groups (ASCRG). The Australian

Standard Classification of Religious Groups (ASCRG), 2016 is used in the 2016 Census

to code responses to the religion question.

Centrelink Payments: Combined measures and low income


The first information box and chart on this page shows how many government

payments are made by the Department of Social Services (DSS) in Fremantle. This

includes: ABSTUDY (Living allowance), ABSTUDY (Non-living allowance), Age

Pension, Austudy, Carer Allowance, Carer Payment, Disability Support Pension,

Double Orphan Pension, Family Tax Benefit A, Family Tax Benefit B, Newstart

Allowance, Parenting Payment Partnered, Parenting Payment Single, Partner

Allowance, Sickness Allowance, Special Benefit, Widow Allowance, Widow B

Pension, Youth Allowance (other), Youth Allowance (student and apprentice). If a

person receives Family Tax Benefit A every fortnight that is counted as one

payment. If they also receive Family Tax Benefit B that is counted as two payments.

The other information boxes show the following payment types:

The Health Care Card (HCC) is issued to recipients of certain social security

benefit or allowance payments to provide access to health concessions,

including cheaper pharmaceutical medicines. Low-income earners may claim

the HCC.

The Low-Income Health Care Card (LIC) can be claimed by low income

earners, providing them access to health concessions, including cheaper

pharmaceutical medicines. The number of LIC recipients should not be

added to the number of HCC recipients as some people have both.

Centrelink Payments: Students and unemployed people


Students:

Austudy is a means-tested payment made to full-time students and Australian

apprentices who are aged 25 years and older.

Youth Allowance (student and apprentice) is a means‐tested payment for

full‐time students and Australian apprentices.

ABSTUDY (Living Allowance) provides a living allowance and a range of

supplementary benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and

apprentices. ABSTUDY (Non-Living Allowance) refers to recipients who do not

receive the ABSTUDY Living Allowance but receive an ABSTUDY

supplementary payment only. Supplementary payments include Schooling A

Award, Part-time Award, Lawful Custody Award and the Testing Assessment

Award.

Unemployed:

Newstart Allowance is the major payment for unemployed people who are 22 and

over, but under the qualifying age for the Age Pension (65). Recipients must

satisfy the activity test by seeking work or participating in an activity designed to

improve their employment prospects.

Youth Allowance (other) is the primary income support payment for young people

aged 16‒21 years who are seeking or preparing for paid employment. Some 15

year olds may also receive assistance. To qualify for Youth Allowance (other) a

person must be unemployed, aged under 22, looking for work or combining

part‐time study with job search, or undertaking any other approved activity, or

temporarily incapacitated for work or study.

Note: To calculate rates (the percentages in the blue boxes below the total number), we

divide the number of recipients by the population of eligible age at the last Census. For

areas that have experienced significant change in population since the last Census,

these rates are not reliable.

Centrelink Payments: Families


Families:

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) was introduced to help with the cost of raising children.

o FTB Part A is the most common payment to help with the cost of raising

children and is paid per child and is income tested on family income.

o FTB Part B gives extra assistance to single-parent families and to couple

families where one income is low. It is income tested for single parents,

and is income tested on both the lower income earner and the main

income earner for two-parent families.

Parenting Payment partnered is an income support payment for partnered

parents with a youngest child under six years of age.

Parenting Payment Single is an income support payment for single parents with a

child under eight years of age.

Note: To calculate rates (the percentages in the blue boxes below the total number),

we divide the number of recipients by the number of families with dependent children

at the last Census. For areas that have experienced a significant change in number

of families with dependent children since the last Census, these rates are not

reliable.

Centrelink Payments: Older people


Age Pension is a support payment for people who have reached the

qualifying age. From 1 July 2013, the qualifying age for both men and

women is 65 years. From 1 July 2017 the Age Pension qualifying age will

progressively increase from 65 years to 67 years, reaching 67 years in

2023.

The Commonwealth Seniors Health Card is claimed by people who have

reached the qualifying age for the Age Pension but do not qualify for a

pension. To qualify for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, a person

must also meet an adjusted taxable income test. The Commonwealth

Seniors Health Card provides access to health concessions, including

cheaper pharmaceutical medicines.

The Pension Concession Card is automatically issued to pensioners and

eligible allowance recipients to provide access to health concessions,

including cheaper pharmaceutical medicines.

Widow Allowance provides income support for older working age women

who lose the support of a partner and face barriers to finding employment

because of limited participation. Access to Widow Allowance is restricted

with new grants only being made available to women who were born on or

before 1 July 1955.

Note: To calculate rates (the percentages in the blue boxes below the total

number), we divide the number of recipients by the population of eligible

age at the last Census. For areas that have experienced significant

change in the number of people over 65 since the last Census, these rates

are not reliable.

Centrelink Payments: Disability, carer and sickness payments


Disability Support Pension (DSP) is an income support payment for people who are

unable to work for 15 hours or more per week at or above the relevant minimum wage,

independent of a Program of Support due to permanent physical, intellectual or

psychiatric impairment. A DSP claimant must be aged 16 years or over and under Age

Pension age at date of claim, however once in receipt of DSP, a person can continue

to receive DSP beyond Age Pension age.

Carer Payment provides income support for carers who, because of the demands of

their caring role, are unable to support themselves through substantial paid

employment.

Carer Allowance is a supplementary payment for carers who provide daily care and

attention at home for a person with a disability, severe medical condition or who is frail

and aged. Carer Allowance (CA) may be paid in addition to income support payments.

Sickness Allowance is a payment made to people aged 22 years or older who are

temporarily unfit, due to illness or injury, to perform their usual work or study, and have

a job to return to or intend to resume studying when fit to do so.

Note: To calculate rates (the percentages in the blue boxes below the total number),

we divide the number of recipients by the population of eligible age at the last Census.

For areas that have experienced significant change in population since the last

Census, these rates are not reliable.

The information in this section shows a summary of persons with need for assistance

for disabilities, by gender. The information boxes show the proportion of the population

with need for assistance (for disabilities). There were 4 questions in the Census on

need for assistance. The first three asked if a person needed assistance with each of

the activities of self-care, mobility and communication; the fourth asked why this

assistance was needed. If a person indicated that they needed assistance in one or

more of the three activities because of a disability, long term health problem or the

effects of old age, they were categorised as 'having need for assistance'. Other reasons

for assistance that are not included in the information to the right are short-term health

conditions (lasting less than six months), long-term health conditions (lasting six months

or more), old or young age, difficulty with English language, and other causes.

The information in this section looks at data for GP attendances in-hours and after-hours

from the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and Emergency Department (ED)

attendances from the National Non-admitted Patient Emergency Department Care

Database (NNAPEDCD).

Specialist attendances are Medicare benefits-funded referred patient/doctor encounters,

such as visits, consultations and attendances by video conference, involving medical

practitioners who have been recognised as specialists or consultant physicians for

Medicare benefits purposes. MBS statistics exclude services provided free of charge to

public patients in hospitals, to Department of Veterans Affairs beneficiaries, some

patients under compensation arrangements, and through other publicly funded

programs.

GP attendances in-hours and after-hours from the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS)

and Emergency Department (ED) attendances from the National Non-admitted Patient

Emergency Department Care Database (NNAPEDCD). In-hours GP attendances are all

non-referred Medicare benefit-funded patient/doctor encounters excluding urgent and

non-urgent after-hours attendances. Services provided by practice nurses and

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners on the GP’s behalf are

excluded from the analysis.

Age-standardisation is an adjustment of the rate so that communities can be compared

even their age profiles are different e.g. people in one area might be older than the

other.

The information in this section looks at data on cancer screening, incidence and deaths.

National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) - Participation is measured as the

percentage of people invited to screen in a 24-month period who returned a completed

screening test within the defined 24-month period or following six months, excluding

those who opted off or suspended from the program without completing the test. The

target group is asymptomatic Australians aged 50–74.

BreastScreen Australia - Participation is measured as the percentage of women in the

population aged 50–74 screened by BreastScreen Australia in a 24-month period.

National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP) - Participation is measured as the

percentage of women in the population aged 20–69 who had at least one Pap test in a

24-month period.

Age-standardised incidence rates for selected cancers - Incidence refers to the number

of new cancer cases diagnosed during 2006-2010. Population is the sum of the

Australian Bureau of Statistics Estimated Resident Populations for females, males or all

persons (dependant on cancer type) as at 30 June for each year between 2009-2013.

The rates were age standardised to the 2001 Australian Standard Population and are

expressed per 100,000 population. Age-standardisation is an adjustment of the rate so

that communities can be compared even their age profiles are different e.g. people in

one area might be older than the other.

The information in this section looks at hospitalisations for mental health

conditions and intentional self-harm.

Hospitalisation data is from the National Health Performance Authority

analysis of the National Hospital Morbidity Database 2015–16, data

supplied November 2017 and Australian Bureau of Statistics Estimated

Resident Population 30 June 2014. The condition categories are defined

by principal diagnosis ICD-10-AM codes:

All mental health

Schizophrenia and delusional disorders (F20–F29)

Anxiety and stress disorders (F40–F48)

Bipolar and mood disorders (F30, F31, F33–F39)

Depressive episodes (F32)

Drug and alcohol use (F10–F19, Z50.2, Z50.3, Z71.4, Z71.5)

Dementia ((F00–F03,F05.1,G30) or (G31 with an additional diagnosis

of dementia))

Intentional self-harm includes all hospitalisations with an ICD-10-AM

external cause code of X60–X84 or Y87.0.

Rates refer to the area where a person lives, not the location of the

hospital where they were admitted. Hospitalisations from both public

and private hospitals are included. Overnight hospitalisations are stays

in hospital for a minimum of one night. Bed days are the number of

days admitted patients are in hospital. Specialised care is provided in a

specialised psychiatric unit; non-specialised care is provided in a

general hospital ward. A hospitalisation is counted as specialised care

when at least one day of care is provided in a specialised psychiatric

unit. Specialised care bed days are the number of days in a specialised

psychiatric unit.

The information on this page looks at lifestyle behaviours of people living in Fremantle.

Lifestyle behaviours are risk factors which play a major part in an individual’s health

outcomes and will have varying physical and psychological consequences.

The first information box shows the percentage of adults who are daily smokers. An

adult refers to participants aged 18 years and over. A current daily smoker was defined

as a person who smokes one or more cigarettes, roll-your-own cigarettes, cigars or

pipes at least once a day. Chewing tobacco and the smoking of non-tobacco products

were excluded. The data were collected via the ABS National Health Survey and

excludes adults living in non-private dwellings, very remote areas, and discrete

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The overweight and obese data was calculated using data from the ABS National

Health Survey (NHS) 2011–12 and the ABS National Nutrition and Physical Activity

Survey (NNPAS) 2011–12. Consenting participants were measured using digital

weighing scales to measure weight and a stadiometer to measure height. Survey

participants aged 18 years and over were classified as overweight if their Body Mass

Index (BMI) was greater than or equal to 25 and less than 30, or obese if their BMI was

greater than or equal to 30. BMI scores were calculated as weight (kg) divided by height

(m). Survey excludes adults living in non-private dwellings, very remote areas, and

discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The long-term risky drinking

data shows the proportion of the population (aged 15+) reporting average alcohol

consumption of more than two standard drinks per day over the past year. Calculated

by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) from the 2014–15 National Health Survey

(NHS).

This data was accessed through the AIHW’s http://www.myhealthycommunities.gov.au

The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) are calculated by the ABS and rank areas in

Australia according to socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. The indexes are based on

information from the five-yearly Census. A lower score indicates that an area is relatively

disadvantaged compared to an area with a higher score.

Of the four indexes, the Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) seems to be

the one that is most commonly used to target services at those who need them most. The

chart on this page summarises the following indexes:

Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD) is a general socio-economic

index that summarises a range of information about the economic and social conditions

of people and households within an area. The index identifies areas with lower

educational attainment, people in low-skilled occupations, low employment and other

indicators of disadvantage. Unlike the other indexes, this index includes only measures

of relative disadvantage.

Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD) summarises

information about the economic and social conditions of people and households within

an area, including both relative advantage and disadvantage measures. This index is

constructed using a number of different variables that indicate both advantage (i.e. high

income, having a degree qualification) and disadvantage (i.e. unemployment status, low

income, not enough bedrooms).

It is important to remember that the scores are an ordinal measure. For example, an

area with a score of 1000 is not twice as advantaged as an area with a score of 500.

Percentiles divide a distribution into 100 equal groups. In the case of SEIFA, the

distribution of scores is divided into 100 equal groups. The lowest scoring 1% of areas

are given a percentile number of 1, the second-lowest 1% of areas are given a percentile

number of 2 and so on, up to the highest 1% of areas which are given a percentile

number of 100. SEIFA percentiles are provided to allow users to create their own

groupings, such as quartiles (which contain 25% of CDs).

To see all the variables used to calculate SEIFA please see this ABS page.

The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) are calculated by the ABS and rank areas

in Australia according to socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. The chart on this

page summarises the following indexes as a comparative measure of disadvantaged areas.

For both indexes, lower score indicates that an area is relatively disadvantaged compared

to an area with a higher score:

Index of Economic Resources (IER) focuses on the financial aspects of relative

socio-economic advantage and disadvantage, by summarising variables related to

income and wealth including variables such as income, rent paid, home ownership

and mortgage payments. It excludes education and occupation variables because

they are not direct measures of economic resources.

Index of Education and Occupation (IEO) is designed to reflect the educational and

occupational level of communities. The education variables in this index show level of

school and university education and other qualifications. The occupation variables

classify the workforce into high and low skilled jobs according to the Australian and

New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and also whether

they are unemployed. This index does not include any income variables.

It is important to remember that the scores are an ordinal measure. For example, an

area with a score of 1000 is not twice as advantaged as an area with a score of 500.

Percentiles divide a distribution into 100 equal groups. In the case of SEIFA, the

distribution of scores is divided into 100 equal groups. The lowest scoring 1% of

areas are given a percentile number of 1, the second-lowest 1% of areas are given a

percentile number of 2 and so on, up to the highest 1% of areas which are given a

percentile number of 100. SEIFA percentiles are provided to allow users to create

their own groupings, such as quartiles (which contain 25% of CDs).

The information on this page shows average household sizes, dwelling sizes and

number of bedrooms per person.

The population density is calculated by dividing the population of the area (Census

2018) by its area in square kilometres (ABS 3218.0 - Regional Population Growth,

Australia, 2018). The result is expressed as a number of people per square kilometre.

The information on this page summarises house prices and costs of housing.

Weekly rent records the individual dollar amounts of rent paid by households on a

weekly basis for the dwelling in which they were enumerated on Census Night, for all

dwelling types (including caravans etc. in caravan parks). The Census is the only

source of rent data for small areas and for small groups of the population. Such data

are important for housing policy and planning, and for studying the housing conditions

of minority populations.

Monthly mortgage repayments shows the median monthly mortgage repayment in

Australian dollars ($).This variable records the mortgage repayments being paid by a

household to purchase the dwelling in which they were enumerated on Census Night,

for all dwelling types (also applicable to caravans).

The housing affordability indicator is calculated by dividing the median house sale price

by the median household income = Median house sale price ($) (ABS 1410.0, 2015) /

Median household income (annually) (Census, 2016). Median house sale price data is

taken from the ABS 1410.0 Data by Region dataset. It is based on the ABS, Residential

Property Price Indexes and was provided by the state and territory Land Titles Office or

Valuers General Office in each capital city. The ABS then applies classifications to

create the residential property sales dataset, from which these statistics are produced.

Tenure describes whether a household rents or owns the dwelling in which they were

counted on Census Night, or whether they occupy it under another arrangement.

Tenure type is derived from the responses to a series of questions. It is applicable to all

occupied private dwellings. The landlord type variable provides information on the type

of landlord for rented dwellings. It applies to all households who are renting the dwelling

(including caravans, etc. in caravan parks) in which they are enumerated on Census

Night. Landlord Type allows data to be produced for studies of the socioeconomic

characteristics of tenants of public authority housing. It also allows for comparisons with

tenants in privately owned accommodation.

Own home refers to dwellings that were occupied by the owners on Census Night,

whether they are owned with or without a mortgage.

The information boxes show the number and percentage of people moving

between addresses in Fremantle.

The Census asks a series of questions relating to each person's usual address.

Questions ask for a person’s usual address at Census night, usual address one

year ago and usual address five years ago. ‘Usually live’ means the address at

which the person has lived, or intends to live, for a total of six months or more

that year (percentages may not sum to 100, as ‘Not stated’ is an output category

in these Census questions).

Data collected in the Census only reflect movements which coincide with these

This page looks at early years progress according to the Australian Early

Development Census (AEDC). The AEDC is a nationwide data collection of

early childhood development at the time children commence their first year

of full-time school. The AEDC highlights what is working well and what

needs to be improved or developed to support children and their families by

providing evidence to support health, education and community policy and

planning.

The AEDC is held every three years. This means a different group of

children are completing each census, so the line graph compares different

groups of children, NOT the same group every three years.

The census involves teachers of children in their first year of full-time school

completing a research tool, the Australian version of the Early Development

Instrument. The Instrument collects data relating to five key areas of early

childhood development referred to as ‘domains’, these include: Physical

health and well-being; Social competence; Emotional maturity; Language

and cognitive skills; Communication skills and general knowledge. The

AEDC domains have been shown to predict later health, wellbeing and

academic success. For more information on the domains see

The information on this page looks at family, household and personal incomes.

Weekly income data records the income level of people aged 15 years and over.

Personal incomes are collected as ranges in the Census. To enable these range values

to be summed, information from the Survey of Income and Housing, which collects

income as individual values, is used to estimate the median income within each bracket

collected by the Census. The relevant median value for each family/household member

is then summed to produce family or household income.

Interpreting medians: Half the people in the area have a higher income then the median

personal income and the other half have a lower income than the median personal

income. Likewise, half the families have a higher income than the median family income

and half the households have a higher income than the median household income.

The information on this page shows economic activity breakdowns for adults

aged 15 and over in Fremantle.

Most of this data comes from the Census. A person is considered to be

working full-time if they worked more than 35 hours in all jobs during the week

prior to Census Night. A person is considered to be working part-time if they

worked less than 35 hours in all jobs during the week prior to Census Night. A

person is considered to unemployed if they were looking for full or part time

work on the week prior to Census Night.

People who are not in the labour force include students, retirees, people

performing home duties, people with disabilities or long term health conditions

and those who were not looking for work because they believed they would not

find a job. For more information about people not in the labour force see ABS

Economy: Local businesses


The information in this section shows the number and proportion of businesses by size

and turnover. The data is released as a time series of annual snapshots under ABS

catalogue number 8165.0 - Counts of Australian Businesses, including Entries and Exits.

It contains counts and rates of business entries and exits from the Australian economy

as well as counts of the survival of businesses.

Most businesses in Australia need to obtain an Australian Business Number (ABN).

These businesses are then included on the whole of government register of businesses,

the Australian Business Register (ABR). The ABS uses information from the ABR as well

as data supplied by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) to populate its internal register of

businesses, the Australian Bureau of Statistics Business Register (ABSBR).

Only businesses registered for GST are included. Business entities with a turnover

below $75,000 do not have to register for GST, so those who have not registered will not

be included in these counts. Main business address is used to determine location.

Businesses that are large, complex and diverse are broken down by the ABS to ‘activity

units’ which are more similar to other businesses. For these activity units, the state of

highest employment is used, which may not be the main business address.

This data was published down to SA2 level.

The information on this page shows the methods of travel to work in Fremantle.

The data records up to three methods of travel to work on the day of the Census,

for each person aged 15 years and over who was employed during the week before

the Census. It should be noted that it refers to method on the day of the Census,

not usual method used.

The question on method of travel (Question 45) allowed for multiple answers in all

categories except walked only, worked at home, and did not go to work; for

example, a journey to work by car as the driver, by ferry and then bus, would be

recorded as such, i.e. all three modes would be coded. Statistics gathered from this

question give an indication of the way people travelled to work on Census day,

however, some issues in practical application of the statistics should be noted when

they are used in conjunction with Place of Work (POWP) data. The following points

should be particularly noted: Method of travel to work and journey to work travel

involve different time periods.

The chart shows the proportion of people travelling to work by public transport.

Public transport includes train, tram/light rail, ferry and bus.
