Sydney has a so-called rich area, a poor area, but where is it? Where is the poor? What are the definitions of the two?
In fact, this kind of thing, we do not normally delve into, that is, there is a general impression. But, recently, the official has more accurate data to come out!
The work was done by Australia`s Bureau of Statistics (ABS), which based its 2016 census data on a new index,: Index of Household Advantage and Disadvantage (IHAD), the family advantage and vulnerability index. As the name implies, the goal of IHAD is to measure a family`s social economic status, which includes a wide range of indicators, such as income, level of education, occupation, employment, housing, and so on.
Of course, IHAD also has limitations, such as health, convenience, wealth accumulation, community participation, and so on, that are not included to measure "family strengths and weaknesses."
According to the social economic status of different families, IHAD gives a score: the most vulnerable 25% of families with a score of 1; the most dominant 25% of families, score 4; The 25% of households that were stronger than the weakest scored 2, and the weaker 25% scored 3. That is, the higher the score, the higher the social status.
In addition, IHAD has a characteristic: it can measure the social and economic status of families in different scale areas. The smallest area is called Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1), and usually the area with a population of about 400 can form SA1..
The results described below are basically the results on the scale of SA1. First of all, look at Sydney`s most classy area: Frenchs Forest, a district of about 80 families, topped the list in Sydney`s North District.
Close behind is the famous Mosman district, near Taronga Zoo, an area of more than 100 families. More than 4/5 of families in these two regions scored 4, and none of them scored 1.
On a larger scale, 3/5 of the highest-ranking, top-notch regions are located in the northwest of Sydney and none in the east side of Sydney.
Specifically, the areas with the highest scores are located in: Woodcroft, Quakers Hill in the Northwest and Stanhope Gardens. in the Northwest. One of the highest-ranking regions in Sydney`s East side is in Bellevue Hill, but only ranked 11th.
Terry Rawnsley of the economics family in economic, the research area, revealed the reason why the northwest of Sydney had such a high social and economic status was because the children of wealthy families in the northern part of Sydney had moved to the northwest. "as cities develop, many wealthy families branch along the Northwest Corridor, rather than trekking to other parts of Sydney." In addition, the northwest Sydney also has large employment areas such as Macquarie Park and Norwest Business Park, attracting a lot of high-education talent.
Although the most classy areas are largely concentrated on the outskirts of Sydney, there are also some remote areas in the new state, such as Jerrabomberra, which is close to the capital territory, where two areas are crowded into the top 10. In addition, two remote towns, Dubbo and Wagga, also have several regions on the list.
According to the results, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Greater Sydney region is very large: four of the 10 most vulnerable regions are located in Claymore,Rosemeadow,Miller and Malabar. in Greater Sydney. The remaining six most vulnerable areas, Wilcannia,West Kempsey,Boggabilla,Caroona,Ballina and Redhead. in remote areas of the new state At the bottom of the 10 areas, each family scored a score of 1.
The most painful thing in life for the poor is that they are surrounded by rich people. According to IHAD, this cruelty happened in Sydney: 3/4 of families in Bungarribee, on the west side of Sydney, scored 4, compared with 5% in the adjacent Doonside district.
Even more cruel is that, South Coogee has a family in a small area, 93% of families score 1, none of families score 4, but only one street away, 2/3 families score 4. Only 5% of families scored 1.
Is the area you live in not mentioned? It doesn`t matter. According to ABS`s statistics, someone made an interactive map and clicked on an area to see what percentage of households with a score of 1 and 4 each had a score of 1 and 4 in that area. Here is an overview:
The blue area is high-end, the red is the poor, the yellow is between the two, and the white is the data-missing area.
