This data pack provides a profile of the Wagga Wagga CLSD region using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Legal Assistance Services Data Digest (LASDD) compiled by the Law and Justice Foundation. It also uses the Foundation’s Collaborative Planning Resource (CPR) to present data on Need for Legal Assistance Service (NLAS) indicators and priority groups. ➢ About the CPR ➢ Definitions for the Foundation’s CPR NLAS indicators and CPR priority groups

CLSD regions are based on Local Government Area (LGA) boundaries. LASDD data is presented by LGA in tables and graphs. Maps present data by postcode for a more precise visual representation and may therefore cover a slightly larger area than the CLSD region. ➢ About the geographies, including LGAs and postal areas, used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics

SEIFA indicator by postcode Highly Advantaged Mildly Advantaged Mildly Disadvantaged Highly Disadvantaged

Areas are assigned a score based on how relatively disadvantaged that area is compared with others. A low score indicates relatively greater disadvantage in general, whereas a high score indicates a relative lack of disadvantage in general. Areas are then ordered from lowest to highest score and divided into four groups, or ‘quartiles’.

Highly Disadvantaged: 25% of areas with the lowest scores (1st quartile) nd rd Mildly Disadvantaged: 2 quartile, Mildly Advantaged: 3 Local Court quartile Major roads Highly Advantaged: 25% of areas with the highest scores (4th quartile)
