Service Description:
The Index of Household Advantage and Disadvantage (IHAD) provides a summary measure of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage for households, based on the characteristics of dwellings and the people living within them, using 2021 Census data.
All in-scope households are ordered from lowest to highest score. A low score indicates relatively greater disadvantage and a lack of advantage in general. A high score indicates a relative lack of disadvantage and greater advantage in general.
This dataset presents IHAD data in quartiles. The lowest 25% of households are given a quartile number of 1, the next lowest 25% of households are given a quartile number of 2 and so on, up to the highest 25% of households which are given a quartile number of 4. This means that households are divided into four equal sized groups, depending on their score. In practice these groups won’t each be exactly 25% of households as it depends on the distribution of the IHAD scores. The data is grouped by Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2 2021). SA2s are defined by the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3.

IHAD quartile 1
IHAD_QUARTILE1
Proportion of in-scope dwellings in the SA2 that fall into IHAD quartile 1, indicating relatively greater disadvantage and lack of advantage in general.
IHAD quartile 2
IHAD_QUARTILE2
Proportion of in-scope dwellings in the SA2 that fall into IHAD quartile 2.
IHAD quartile 3
IHAD_QUARTILE3
Proportion of in-scope dwellings in the SA2 that fall into IHAD quartile 3.
IHAD quartile 4
IHAD_QUARTILE4
Proportion of in-scope dwellings in the SA2 that fall into IHAD quartile 4, indicating a relative lack of disadvantage and greater advantage in general.
Occupied private dwellings

SEIFA IRSAD quartile
IRSAD_QUARTILE
Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage quartile. All SA2s are ordered from lowest to highest score, the lowest 25% of SA2s are given a quartile number of 1, the next lowest 25% of SA2s are given a quartile number of 2 and so on, up to the highest 25% of SA2s which are given a quartile number of 4. This means that SA2s are divided into four equal sized groups, depending on their score. In practice these groups won’t each be exactly 25% of SA2s as it depends on the distribution of SEIFA scores.
