State Statistical Bulletin 2023
Executive summary
- This paper, a companion to the Key Economic and Social Indicator Dashboard published by the Parliamentary Library, provides tables and charts for a broad range of social, demographic and economic indicators across all Australian states and territories, and compares these with Australian averages.
- Each table presents data for the past five calendar years to 2023, where available, while each chart plots data for the calendar year 2023.
- The State Statistical Bulletin is published twice per year covering data for either the previous financial year or calendar year.
Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to
present a range of economic and other statistical indicators for the states and
territories of Australia. To facilitate comparisons, indicators are presented
in relative terms such as growth rates, percentages, or proportions of gross
state product, so comparisons can be made using equivalent measures.
This publication is a companion to the Key
Economic and Social Indicator Dashboard which contains Australia-wide data
only, but on a more frequent basis.
A glossary of social, demographic and economic terms used in
the tables is provided at the end of this publication.
Data Sources
Data sources are listed at the bottom of the page for each
indicator. All data is from an original ABS series unless otherwise indicated
as a trend or seasonally adjusted series.
Historical Data
Longer-term data series for every
table in this paper and for the Parliamentary Library’s companion publication,
the Key
Economic and Social Indicator Dashboard is available. Please contact the
Parliamentary Library if you would like a copy of these historical
spreadsheets.
