summary
- This
paper, a companion to the Monthly Statistical Bulletin 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 last five years to 2020–21 (or the latest data
available), while each chart plots data for the financial year 2020–21 (or the
latest data available).
- Data
used is the latest available as at September 16 2021.
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 Monthly
Statistical Bulletin 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
Long-term data series for every table in this paper and for
the Parliamentary Library’s companion publication, the Monthly
Statistical Bulletin, are available electronically and can be found on
the Parliamentary Library’s Monthly Statistical Bulletin and State Statistical
Bulletin pages.
