Census release 3 updated in profile.id and atlas.id (just a week after being published!)
We've pulled out all the stops to get the much anticipated SEIFA index data into our profile.id and atlas.id tools within a week of the data being released.
Released by the ABS on Thursday 28/3, the SEIFA index is an essential tool to explore areas of disadvantage within your community, and is very useful for demonstrating the evidence-base in preparing grant applications.
The ABS explains: "The third release of 2011 Census data includes the release of Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), which ranks areas in Australia according to relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage.
For the purposes of SEIFA, the ABS broadly defines relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage in terms of people's access to material and social resources, and their ability to participate in society."
You can find the SEIFA index information in any of the 400+ profile.id and atlas.id websites available in our demographic resource centre
Also - if you have a regular need to research/combine the data in several profile.id or atlas.id sites - we may have an even easier solution for you. Please contact us at Lailani@id.com.au to find out more... .

 The SEIFA index - what does it show, and what are the results?
The national results reveal a changing of the guard - with the most advantaged areas now concentrated in Perth.
Previously Ku Ring Gai in Sydney's northern suburbs was the most advantaged area in the country, now, with a score of 1,155.4, it's the little enclave of Peppermint Grove on the Swan River.
Following it is Ku Ring Gai with 1154.6, then the next 3 are all in Perth - Nedlands, Cottesloe and Cambridge, before we get to other Sydney north shore areas, like Mosman and Lane Cove.
This shows the shift in affluence to Western Australia, affected by the mining boom.
Read on to find out which cities have the highest (and lowest) SEIFA index scores for each state:
