This infographic uses results from the 2001, 2006, and 2013 Censuses. Percentages exclude responses that cannot be classified (‘not stated’ and ‘response unidentifiable’). Number of motor vehicles and access to telecommunication systems count households. A household is either one person, or one or more families, or a family plus other people, or a group of people living together who are not a family. The regional maps show regional council areas. This data has been randomly rounded to protect confidentiality.
