About the community profile 78

The Estimated Resident Population is the OFFICIAL City of Banyule population for 2012.

Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in

Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of

Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of the City of Banyule. To

provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the

Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for the City of

Banyule.

See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to

use each one.

The City of Banyule's commuting statistics reveal the main modes of transport by which residents get to work. There

are a number of reasons why people use different modes of transport to get to work including the availability of

affordable and effective public transport options, the number of motor vehicles available within a household, and the

distance travelled to work.

Commuting data is very useful in transport planning as it informs decision-makers about the availability, effectiveness

and utilisation of local transport options, particularly when analysed with Residents Place of Work data and Car

Ownership.

The proportion of people providing unpaid care for the aged and disabled in the City of Banyule can be an important

indicator of the level of demand for aged care services and facilities by local and state governments. An increasing

proportion of carers among the population may indicate inadequate aged care provision, or the need for in-home

support, or support for the carers themselves. The level of care provided by individuals is likely to be affected by

Household Income, Age Structure and the ethnic makeup of the community (Language Spoken), as well as the sense

of community cohesiveness.

Households form the common 'economic unit' in our society. The City of Banyule's Household Income is one of the

most important indicators of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as Educational Qualifications and

Occupation, it helps to reveal the economic opportunities and socio-economic status of the City of Banyule. It is

important to note that income data is not necessarily a measure of wealth. For example, if an area has a large

number of retirees this will produce a higher proportion of households with low income but the retirees may have large

capital wealth. For this reason, household income should be viewed in conjunction with Age and Household

Composition.

The size of households in general follows the life-cycle of families. Households are usually small at the stage of

relationship formation (early marriage), and then increase in size with the advent of children. They later reduce in size

again as these children reach adulthood and leave home. Household size can also be influenced by a lack (or

abundance) of affordable housing. Overseas migrants and indigenous persons often have a tradition of living with

extended family members which significantly affects household size.

Household size in Australia has declined since the 1970s but between 2006 and 2011, the average household size

remained stable for the nation as a whole.

An increasing household size in an area may indicate a lack of affordable housing opportunities for young people, an

increase in the birth rate or an increase in family formation in the area. A declining household size may indicate

children leaving the area when they leave home, an increase in retirees settling in the area, or an attraction of young

singles and couples to the area.

For greater insight, the City of Banyule's Household Size data should be viewed in conjunction with Household

Summary, Age Structure, Dwelling Type, Household Income and Language Spoken at Home.

Dwelling Type is an important determinant of the City of Banyule's residential role and function. A greater

concentration of higher density dwellings is likely to attract more young adults and smaller households, often renting.

Larger, detached or separate dwellings are more likely to attract families and prospective families. The residential

built form often reflects market opportunities or planning policy, such as building denser forms of housing around

public transport nodes or employment centres.

Dwelling Type statistics should be viewed in conjunction with Household size, Household Types, Housing Tenure and

Age Structure for a more complete picture of the housing market in the City of Banyule.

The Number of Bedrooms in a dwelling is an indicator of the size of dwellings, and when combined with dwelling type

information, provides insight into the role the City of Banyule plays in the housing market. For example, an area of

high density dwellings that are predominantly 1-2 bedroom are likely to attract students, single workers and young

couples, whereas a high density area with dwellings that are predominantly 2-3 bedroom may attract more empty

nesters and some families.

In combination with Household type and Household size, the Number of Bedrooms can also indicate issues around

housing affordability, overcrowding and other socio-economic factors.

Mortgage repayments are directly related to house prices in the City of Banyule, length of occupancy and the level of

equity of home owners. When viewed with Household Income data it may also indicate the level of housing stress

households in the community are under. In mortgage belt areas it is expected that households will be paying a higher

proportion of their income on their housing compared to well-established areas. First home buyer areas are also likely

to have larger mortgages than upgrader areas where households move in with equity from elsewhere.

Mortgage payment levels are not directly comparable over time because of inflation. For comparison of mortgage

payments over time, go to Housing Loan Quartiles.

The City of Banyule SEIFA Index of Disadvantage measures the relative level of socio-economic disadvantage

based on a range of Census characteristics. It is a good place to start to get a general view of the relative level

of disadvantage in one area compared to others and is used to advocate for an area based on its level of

disadvantage.

The index is derived from attributes that reflect disadvantage such as low income, low educational attainment,

high unemployment, and jobs in relatively unskilled occupations. When targeting services to disadvantaged

communities, it is important to also look at these underlying characteristics as they can differ markedly between

areas with similar SEIFA scores and shed light on the type of disadvantage being experienced.

A higher score on the index means a lower level of disadvantage. A lower score on the index means a higher

level of disadvantage.

Demographic change across Australia is recorded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in the Census

collections every five years. Population experts, .id, analyse and convert these raw figures into stories of place to

inform council staff, community groups, investors, business, students and the general public.

The City of Banyule Community Profile provides demographic analysis for the City and its suburbs based on results

from the 2011, 2006, 2001, 1996 and 1991 Censuses of Population and Housing. The profile is updated with

population estimates when the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) releases new figures such as the annual

Estimated Resident Population (ERP).

Suburb boundaries and Census questions change over time, but .id manages the data to ensure that there is an

accurate time series provided for the current geographic boundaries. You can read more about this in the Geography

Notes section.

Results for the City of Banyule include population, age structure, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, income, qualifications,

occupations, employment, unemployment, disability, disadvantage, volunteering, childcare, family structure,

household structure, housing tenure, mortgage and rental payments, and the size and type of the dwellings people

live in.

The Community Profile presents this information in clear maps, tables and charts with concise factual commentary to

answer three important questions:

1. What are the characteristics of the people who live here?

2. How are they changing?

3. How do they compare to other areas?

This provides the basis for making evidence-based decisions about how to provide services for the community as it

changes.

You can be confident about the quality of the information as it is derived from Australian Bureau of Statistics data,

analysed and presented by population experts and funded by the City of Banyule.
