Last year I spent some time collating data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011 Census and publishing it on my website in the ‘About Division 5’ page. Unfortunately, several people have commented that it’s hard to find the link to the information which defeats the purpose of it so I’ve now created a direct link from the homepage Navigation Bar entitled ‘Compare Coastal Township Statistics with City, State & Nation’.
The page provides an easy side-by-side reference to relevant statistics for inter-river townships of Burnett Heads, Bargara, Innes Park, Coral Cove & Elliott Heads which are also benchmarked against those for Bundaberg City, Queensland and Australia.
They include comparisons of information such as :
- Demographics
- Employment
- Family Compositions
- Personal & Family Incomes
- Dwelling Details
- Median Rental Paymenent
- Median Mortgage Payments
- Motor Vehicles
- Etc
Statistics aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but for others they’re an interesting source to use when comparing the make-up of our various townships and also to see how we stack up with others on the coast, in the City and across the country. They’re also very handy for newcomers (and potential newcomers) who can use them get a ‘feel’ for the region.
I’m happy to receive any feedback including suggestions of what other information may be useful to include on my website.
