Explanatory notes Profile explanatory notes

Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) A geographical framework covering all spatial areas of Australia and its external territories. The ASGS was developed by the ABS to allow statistics from different collections to be spatially comparable. The ASGS replaced the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC).

Average annual growth rate It is calculated as a percentage using the formula below, where Po is the population at the start of the period, Pn is the population at the end of the period and n is the length of the period between Pn and Po in years.

For example, to calculate the average annual rate of population change from 2002 to 2012, n is ten, Po is the population in 2002 and Pn is the population in 2012.

Cell confidentialisation This profile utilises two types of data confidentialisation. 1. Source data confidentialisation - This refers to datasets that have been confidentialised by the data custodians. For example census data supplied by the ABS have small cell counts of 1 or 2 confidentialised to 0 or 3 and a small random adjustment made to all data to avoid any risk of releasing identifiable information. Caution should therefore be used when interpreting data where the cell count is small. 2. Concordance confidentialisation - This refers to datasets that have been concorded to a new geography and the resulting cell count is small. No reliance should be placed on these cell counts and as such have been confidentialised. Tables utilising this type of confidentialisation will report the cell as less than a specific value (for example <5).

Census 2011 data Census data have 'introduced random error' to ensure no data are released which could risk identifying individuals. As such, cells containing very small counts should be treated with extreme caution. Census undercount Due to the size and complexity of the Census of Population and Housing, whenever a Census is conducted it is inevitable that some people will be missed and some will be counted more than once. After each Census, the Australian Bureau of Statistics conduct a Post Enumeration Survey to estimate the number of people who should have been counted in the Census and the actual Census counts. It is important to note, that all Census data reported in this profile do not have any adjustments made for Census undercount and readers should keep this in mind when making inferences from the data.

Queensland Regional Profiles: Resident Profile: Gladstone Region 62 Concordances and concorded data A concordance, in statistical terms, is a product that allows a user to convert data from one geographical region (under which data have been collected) to a new geographical region. In order to convert data from one geographical boundary to another, each region in the new boundary is assigned percentages of data from the old regions. These percentages in the concordance can be constructed using any number of variables. This profile utilises a population based concordance (estimated resident population) at a specific point in time (2011). This type of concordance is useful when concording demographic based datasets such as labour force and family composition on a usual resident basis with time periods at or around 2011. It does not work as well when concording data on different counting methods (such as counts by place of work), non-population based datasets (such as business counts) or datasets collected at different time periods (such as data collected in 2001). Caution should therefore be used when interpreting non- resident based datasets that have been concorded.

One major assumption that is necessary to make when concording data is that the data (for example unemployed persons) are proportionately distributed across the region the same as total resident population (as total resident population is the variable used to derive the percentage splits). In some cases this assumption will not be entirely correct. In the example of unemployed persons, within the region there may be more concentrated areas with a larger proportion of unemployed persons. This assumption should therefore be considered when interpreting datasets that have been concorded.

Queensland Queensland figures include the 'Migratory - Offshore - Shipping' and 'No Usual Address' counts.

Region overview Statistics in the region overview have been derived from administrative geographical boundaries and the Bureau of Meteorology.

Rounding Figures are rounded to nearest whole number. Calculations (such as percentages and rates) are based on pre-rounded figures.

Specialisation ratio The ratio of the percentage for the Gladstone Region to the percentage for Queensland. A specialisation ratio above 1.00 indicates Gladstone Region has a larger share for that category than in Queensland. Similarly a specialisation ratio below 1.00 indicates Gladstone Region has a smaller share for that category than in Queensland.

Statistical Area Level 2 Statistical Area Level 2s (SA2s) (2011) are small areas, approximately suburb size, with a population range of between 3,000 to 25,000 persons, and have an average population of about 10,000 persons. There are 526 SA2 regions that cover the state.

Topic explanatory notes

Aged care services

Community care services Community care services provide home-based care for older people wanting to remain living independently in their own home improving their quality of life and helping them to remain active and connected to their own communities. The figures here include Mainstream Packaged Care places provided by Community Aged Care Package (CACP), Extended Aged Care at Home (EACH), and Extended Aged Care at Home Dementia (EACHD) services, and Flexible Care places provided in a community setting by Multi- Purpose Services (MPS), Innovative Care, Consumer Directed Care (CDC), and National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aged Care (NATSI) Services. Residential aged care Residential Aged Care provides a range of supported accommodation services for older people who are unable to continue living independently in their own homes. The figures here include Mainstream Residential Aged Care places provided by Residential Aged Care Services (RACS), and Flexible Care places provided in a Residential setting by Multi-Purpose Services (MPS), and National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aged Care (NATSI) Services. Transition care Transition care program provides a package of services to enable older people after a hospital stay to return home rather than prematurely enter residential care. The program also gives older people and their families and carers time to consider long-term care arrangements.

Queensland Regional Profiles: Resident Profile: Gladstone Region 63 Australian Early Development Census (AEDC)

Confidentialisation Suppression of AEDC data also occurs when one or more of the following have not been met: • Fewer than 15 children had valid AEDC scores • Less than two teachers had completed AEDC checklists for children in that location • AEDC checklists were completed for less than 80% of all non special needs children Additional minor suppressions have occurred where necessary to preserve confidentiality of related suppressed cells. Whilst some regions have had results suppressed, some SA2s have been included in neighbouring regions. This list includes: • Albion included in Windsor • Aurukun included in Cape York • Carole Park included in Camira - Gailes • Croydon - Etheridge included in Tablelands • Fortitude Valley included in New Farm • Lake Manchester - England Creek included in Lowood • Lamb Range included in Kanimbla - Mooroobool • Mackay Harbour included in Andergrove - Beaconsfield • Magnetic Island included in Belgian Gardens - Pallarenda • Main Beach included in Surfers Paradise • Mount Coot-tha included in The Gap • New Chum included in Collingwood Park - Redbank • Palm Island included in Ingham Region • Wooroonooran included in Babinda Developmentally 'vulnerable' The baseline cut-off from the 2009 AEDC data collection to represent 'vulnerable' apply to all future data collections. In 2009 children who scored below the 10th percentile (in the lowest 10 per cent) of the national population were classified as vulnerable. If more children are doing better nationally in 2012 than in 2009, then fewer than 10 per cent of children will be vulnerable in 2012. Developmentally vulnerable on one or more domain/s The percentage of children in the community who have at least one AEDC domain score/s below the 10th percentile. Developmentally vulnerable on two or more domain/s The percentage of children in the community who have at least two AEDC domain scores below the 10th percentile. Domain: Communication skills and general knowledge This domain measures a child’s communication skills and general knowledge. Domain: Emotional maturity domain This domain measures a child’s pro-social and helping behavior, anxious and fearful behavior, aggressive behavior and hyperactivity and inattention. Domain: Language and cognitive skills domain This domain measures a child’s basic literacy, interest in literacy/numeracy, memory and basic and advanced literacy. Domain: Physical health and wellbeing domain This domain measures a child’s physical readiness for the school day, physical independence and gross and fine motor skills. Domain: Social competence domain This domain measures a child’s overall social competence, responsibility and respect, approaches to learning and readiness to explore new things.

Queensland Regional Profiles: Resident Profile: Gladstone Region 64 Births and deaths

Births Births data are based on the number of births registered during a calendar year by place of usual residence of the mother. This is different to the number of births which occurred during a calendar year. For further information on the differences between estimates of registered births and births occurring in a time period, refer to ABS website (cat. no. 3301.0).

As a result of changes in the timeliness of registration of births in Queensland, care should be taken when interpreting changes in Queensland births between 2006 and 2010. This lag has reduced in recent years, indicating potential improvements in the timeliness of registration of births in Queensland. The December quarter 2009 also saw the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages devoting significant time and resources to follow-up and finalise birth registrations where there was previously incomplete information. As part of the Retrospective Births Project, 1,780 births were registered, with approximately 40% registered as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander births (see paragraph 40 of cat. no. 3301.0 explanatory notes for more information). This project is now complete. Deaths Deaths data are based on the number of deaths registered during a calendar year by place of usual residence of the deceased. This is different to the number of deaths which occurred during a calendar year. For further information on the differences between estimates of registered deaths and deaths occurring in a time period, refer to ABS website (cat. no. 3302.0).

Business counts It is not currently possible to account for those businesses which operate out of multiple locations, other than at their main location. This is particularly relevant for larger businesses, which commonly establish outlets in several or all states and many regions across Australia. The reason for this is that data pertaining to individual business locations are not currently available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Business Register. Users should therefore be aware of this limitation when using counts of businesses included in this table.

Business counts by industry Based on Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 edition. The 'Not classified' industry division is accurate at the time of release of data. Further refinements to this group will be made in subsequent releases, but will not be reflected in these counts.

Country of birth Based on the most common Country of Birth responses (excluding Australia) reported in the 2006 Census.

Queensland Regional Profiles: Resident Profile: Gladstone Region 65 Department of Social Services payments Data are extracted at a point in time, usually towards the end of the quarter. Confidentialisation Cell counts under 20 have been suppressed for confidentiality purposes. Age pension Age pension is a support payment for people who have reached the qualifying age. From 1 July 2013, the qualifying age for both men and women is 65 years. From 1 July 2017 the age pension qualifying age will progressively increase for non-veterans from 65 years to 67 years, reaching 67 years in 2023. Age pension recipients have the choice of having their age pension paid by either the Department of Human Services (DHS) or the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA). DHS pays the vast majority of age pensions. The data in this report only includes data for the DHS customers. Carer allowance A Carer allowance is a supplementary payment for carers who provide daily care and attention at home for a person with a disability, severe medical condition or who is frail and aged. Disability support pension A Disability support pension (DSP) is an income support payment for people who are unable to work for 15 hours or more per week at or above the relevant minimum wage, independent of a program of support due to permanent physical, intellectual or psychiatric impairment. A DSP claimant must be aged 16 years or over and under Age pension age at date of claim, however once in receipt of DSP, a person can continue to receive DSP beyond Age pension age. Family tax benefit part A Family tax benefit (FTB) was introduced to help with the cost of raising children. FTB part A is the most common payment to help with the cost of raising children and is paid per child. It includes a supplement per child that becomes payable after the end of the financial year. FTB part B gives extra assistance to single-parent families and to couple families where one income is low. It is paid on a per family basis and includes a supplement that becomes payable after the end of the financial year. FTB part A and B are income tested on family income. Newstart allowance Newstart allowance is the major payment for unemployed people who are aged 22 years and over, but under the qualifying age for the age pension. Recipients must satisfy the activity test by seeking work or participating in an activity designed to improve their employment prospects. Data include recipients who are determined to be current (i.e. entitled to be paid) on the Centrelink payment system and are not in receipt of CDEP participation supplement or a zero rate of payment.

It excludes 'Visitors only' and 'Other non-classifiable' households. Median mortgage repayment Applicable to occupied private dwellings being purchased and includes dwellings being purchased under a rent/buy scheme. It excludes 'Visitors only' and 'Other non-classifiable' households. Median total family income Applicable to families in family households. It excludes families where at least one member aged 15 years and over did not state an income and families where at least one member aged 15 years and over was temporarily absent on Census Night. Median total household income Applicable to occupied private dwellings. It excludes households where at least one member aged 15 years and over did not state an income and households where at least one member aged 15 years and over was temporarily absent on Census Night. It excludes 'Visitors only' and 'Other non-classifiable' households. Median total personal income Applicable to persons aged 15 years and over.

New house and vacant land sales Vacant residential land have been defined as vacant - large house sites, vacant urban land and vacant rural land between 140m2 and 2,500m2 within planning zones. New house and land have been defined as a single unit dwelling or dwelling large house site on a newly registered block. All reporting periods are based on the contract date and not the settlement date.

Non-school qualification by field of study Excludes persons with a qualification out of the scope of the Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED).

Population projections Population projections are based on a medium series.

Queensland Regional Profiles: Resident Profile: Gladstone Region 67 Proficiency in spoken English Based on the most common Language Spoken at Home responses reported in the 2006 Census for Australia.

Reported offences The reference date for reported offences is the date an offence is reported to or detected by police. Data are based on the location in which the offence occurred. Rates are calculated using the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) as at 30 June of the reported financial year. The ERP for the latest year has been linearly extrapolated using the change between the previous two years. Offences against the person The offence division of offences against the person includes the following offence sub-divisions: homicide (murder); other homicide; assault; sexual offences; robbery; and other offences against the person. Offences against property The offence division of offences against property includes the following offence sub-divisions: unlawful entry with intent; arson; other property damage; unlawful use of motor vehicle; other theft (excluding unlawful entry); fraud; and handling stolen goods. Other offences The offence division of other offences includes the following offence sub-divisions: drug offences; prostitution offences; liquor (excluding drunkenness); gaming, racing and betting offences; breach of domestic violence protection orders; trespassing and vagrancy; weapons act offences; good order offences; stock related offences; traffic and related offences; and miscellaneous offences.

Residential dwelling sales Medians are only calculated where there are ten or more sales over the time period. Attached dwellings Attached dwellings include multi-unit dwellings (flats), building units or group titles within planning zones. Detached dwellings Detached dwellings include single unit dwellings or large house sites. Residential dwelling sales Residential dwelling sales include both new and established dwellings and all reporting periods are based on the contract date and not the settlement date.

Residential lot registrations Lot registration is the final stage in the development of new residential lots, and it is only after the title is registered that a lot legally exists. Lot registrations data provide an indication of the volume of new lots developed and intended for residential purposes.

The Queensland Government Statistician’s Office applies a range of filters to DNRM’s computer inventory of survey plans data, such as parcel size and zoning information, to extract the lots registered for residential purposes. ‘Urban residential’ lots include standard lots typically for detached houses (60m2 to <2,500m2) and lots under community titles schemes for units and townhouses. For this monitoring program, ‘low density residential’ lots are defined as standard lots between 2,500m2 and 5 hectares in size.

Total family income Median total family income estimates incorporate medians calculated by both ABS and Queensland Treasury. Medians are only calculated where there were five or more total families. Median calculation excludes families where at least one member aged 15 years and over did not state an income and families where at least one member aged 15 years and over was temporarily absent on Census Night.

Total personal income Median total personal income estimates incorporate medians calculated by both ABS and Queensland Treasury.

Unemployment and labour force Small Area Labour Force data have been generated from a Structure Preserving Estimation (SPREE) methodology using ABS and Centrelink data. As such these estimates can exhibit considerable variability and care should be taken when interpreting these values. For further information on these data, refer to the Australian Government Department of Employment website.
