SOCIO-ECONOMIC INDEX OF DISADVANTAGE

Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) is a summary measure of the social and economic conditions ofgeographic areas across Australia. SEIFA comprises a number of indexes, which are generated at the time of the ABSCensus of Population and Housing. In 2011, a Socio-Economic Index of Disadvantage was produced to reflectdisadvantage of social and economic conditions. The index focuses on low-income earners, relatively lower educationattainment, high unemployment and dwellings without motor vehicles. Low index values represent areas of mostdisadvantage and high values represent areas of least disadvantage.

The following table shows the percentage of the population in each quintile (one-fifth or 20 per cent of the population)according to the Socio-Economic Index of Disadvantage. Quintile 1 represents the most disadvantaged group ofpersons, while quintile 5 represents the least disadvantaged group of persons.

By definition, Queensland has 20 per cent of the population in each quintile. In comparison, 12.8 per cent of thepopulation of Sunshine Coast Police District were in the most disadvantaged quintile. Compared with the 20 per centaverage across Queensland, 11.4 per cent of the population of Sunshine Coast Police District were in the leastdisadvantaged quintile.

Within the area, Nambour Police Division had the highest proportion in the most disadvantaged quintile (22.7 percent), and Maroochydore Police Division had the highest proportion in the least disadvantaged quintile (21.7 per cent)
