Age Geodemographic Profile - Canberra
Introduction
This work aims to provide an overview of the demographic
characteristics of electorates in Canberra in 2021. The variables
analyzed include under_18, age_18_29, age_30_49, age_over50, total,
SA2_NAME21, SA3_NAME21, and electorate. For this analysis, data
collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in the 2021 census was
utilized. The units of study are distributed across Statistical Areas
(SA1). Additionally, a dataset with geospatial data of the Statistical
Area was used to obtain the necessary geometry information.
Populated Suburbs
The population map illustrates that the majority of the population of Canberra resides in the western part of the state. The graph “Population per Suburb” shows the distribution of people in each suburb of Canberra. Kaleen has the highest population registered in the Census 2021, with 6,610 people. Arboretum has the lowest population count.
Age distribution
In this analysis, the population was segmented into four groups: under 18, age between 18 and 29, age between 30 and 49 and age over 50. The population under 18 represents 18% of the total, those between 18 and 29 represent 22%, those between 30 and 49 represent 27%, and those over 50 represent 33%.
Ancestry
In the 2021 census, out of 122,290 censused people, only 33% provided information about their ancestry. Of those, 25% identified as Australian, 4% as Chinese, 1% as Vietnamese, 2% as Indian, and 1% as Filipino.
