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 State and Territory (2021). State and Territory boundaries are defined by the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3.

Description
State and Territory 2021 code
STATE_CODE_2021
2021 State and Territory codes from the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), Edition 3. The ASGS State and Territory boundaries are a cartographic representation of legally designated boundaries and therefore should not be used for legal purposes. States and Territories consist of one or more Statistical Areas Level 4. In aggregate, they cover Australia without gaps or overlaps.
State and Territory 2021 name
STATE_NAME_2021
2021 State and Territory names from the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), Edition 3. The ASGS State and Territory boundaries are a cartographic representation of legally designated boundaries and therefore should not be used for legal purposes. States and Territories consist of one or more Statistical Areas Level 4. In aggregate, they cover Australia without gaps or overlaps.
Area in square kilometres
AREA_ALBERS_SQKM
The area of a region in square kilometres, based on the Albers equal area conic projection.
IHAD quartile 1
IHAD_QUARTILE1
Proportion of in-scope dwellings in the State or Territory 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 State or Territory that fall into IHAD quartile 2.
IHAD quartile 3
IHAD_QUARTILE3
Proportion of in-scope dwellings in the State or Territory that fall into IHAD quartile 3.
IHAD quartile 4
IHAD_QUARTILE4
Proportion of in-scope dwellings in the State or Territory that fall into IHAD quartile 4, indicating a relative lack of disadvantage and greater advantage in general.
Occupied private dwellings
OPD_2021
Dwellings in-scope of the IHAD i.e. classifiable occupied private dwellings.
SEIFA IRSAD quartile
IRSAD_QUARTILE
Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage quartile. All States are ordered from lowest to highest score, the lowest 25% of States are given a quartile number of 1, the next lowest 25% of States are given a quartile number of 2 and so on, up to the highest 25% of States which are given a quartile number of 4. This means that States are divided into four equal sized groups, depending on their score. In practice these groups won’t each be exactly 25% of States as it depends on the distribution of SEIFA scores.
Usual resident population
URP_2021
Population counts in this column are based on place of usual residence as reported on Census Night. These include persons out of scope of the IHAD.
Dwellings
DWELLING
Total dwellings at Census time, including dwellings out of scope of the IHAD e.g. unoccupied private dwellings.
