About the community profile 80

The Estimated Resident Population is the OFFICIAL Gannawarra Shire 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 Gannawarra Shire. 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 Gannawarra

Shire.

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

use each one.

to which areas are 'ports' for new overseas migrants and reveals the role of Gannawarra Shire in housing the

overseas-born. The number of recent arrivals in an area is often determined by housing affordability, employment

opportunities and pre-existing communities located in the area.

Gannawarra Shire's Year of Arrival data, when used with Birthplace, Religion and Language Spoken at Home data, is

a good indicator of the likely need for services in migrant communities.

conjunction with other key variables. Religion data reveal the major concentrations of religions as well as revealing

the proportion of people with no religious affiliation. There are a number of reasons for different religious

compositions across areas including the country of birth and ethnic background of the population, the age of the

population (belief in religion is generally stronger, the older the population) and changes in values and belief

systems.

Gannawarra Shire's religion statistics should be analysed in conjunction with other ethnicity statistics such as Country

of Birth data and Language Spoken data to assist in identifying specific cultural and ethnic groups.

The share of Gannawarra Shire's population attending educational institutions reflects the age structure of the

population, which influences the number of children attending school; proximity to tertiary education, which can mean

young adults leaving home to be nearer to educational facilities and; the degree to which people are seeking out

educational opportunities in adulthood, especially in their late teens and early twenties.

This data is often combined with Age Structure to identify areas with significant university student populations.

Gannawarra Shire's disability statistics relate directly to need for assistance due to a severe or profound disability.

The information may be used in the planning of local facilities, services such as day-care and occasional care and in

the provision of information and support to carers. Gannawarra Shire's disability statistics help in understanding the

prevalence of people who need support in the community, and along with information on Unpaid Care to a person with

a disability, how that support is provided.

Please note: A person's reported need for assistance is based on a subjective assessment and should therefore be

treated with caution. See the specific data notes for further detail.

The labour force participation rate refers to the proportion of the population over 15 years of age that was employed

or actively looking for work. "The labour force is a fundamental input to domestic production. Its size and composition

are therefore crucial factors in economic growth. From the viewpoint of social development, earnings from paid work

are a major influence on levels of economic well-being." (Australian Social Trends 1995).

Analysis of the labour force participation rate of the population in Gannawarra Shire in 2011 shows that there was a

lower proportion in the labour force (53.7%) compared with Regional VIC (58.2%).

Gannawarra Shire'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 Gannawarra Shire 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.

Individual Income statistics are an indicator of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as Household

Income, Educational Qualifications and Occupation, they help tell the story of the economic opportunities and socio-

economic status of Gannawarra Shire. The amount of income an individual receives is linked to a number of factors

including employment status, age (as for instance students and retirees often receive a lower income), qualifications

and type of employment.

Households form the common 'economic unit' in our society. Gannawarra Shire'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 Gannawarra Shire. 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.

Gannawarra Shire's household and family structure is one of the most important demographic indicators. It reveals

the area's residential role and function, era of settlement and provides key insights into the level of demand for

services and facilities as most are related to age and household types.

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, Gannawarra Shire'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 Gannawarra Shire'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 Gannawarra Shire.

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 Gannawarra Shire 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.

The ability of the population to access services and employment is strongly influenced by access to transport. The

number of motor vehicles per household in Gannawarra Shire quantifies access to private transport and will be

influenced by Age Structure and Household Type, which determine the number of adults present; access to Public

Transport; distance to shops, services, employment and education; and Household Income. Depending on these

factors, car ownership can be seen as a measure of advantage or disadvantage, or a neutral socio-economic

measure, which impacts on the environment and quality of life.

Gannawarra Shire's Housing Tenure data provides insights into its socio-economic status as well as the role it plays

in the housing market. For example, a high concentration of private renters may indicate a transient area attractive to

young singles and couples, while a concentration of home owners indicates a more settled area with mature families

and empty-nester Household Summary. Tenure can also reflect built form (Dwelling Type), with a significantly higher

share of renters in high density housing and a substantially larger proportion of home-owners in separate houses,

although this is not always the case.

In conjunction with other socio-economic status indicators in Gannawarra Shire, Tenure data is useful for analysing

housing markets, housing affordability and identifying public housing areas.

Mortgage repayments are directly related to house prices in Gannawarra Shire, 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.

Rental payments can be a better measure of the cost of housing in Gannawarra Shire than mortgage repayments

because they are not contingent on length of occupancy or equity in the dwelling.

High rental payments may indicate desirable areas with mobile populations who prefer to rent, or a housing shortage,

or gentrification. Low rental payments may indicate public housing (check Tenure Type), or areas where low income

households move by necessity for a lower cost of living.

Rental payments are not directly comparable over time because of inflation. For comparison of rental payments over

time, go to Housing Rental Quartiles.

Gannawarra Shire 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.

Gannawarra Shire Community Profile provides demographic analysis for the Shire 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 Gannawarra Shire 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 Gannawarra Shire.
