Summary |
The Housing Need of Indigenous Australians, 1991 (Jones 1994) reported the results of analyses undertaken using 1991 Census data to assess the level of overcrowding in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander households, and the association between overcrowding, household composition and tenure. Variations between and within States and Territories were also examined. With data from the 1996 Census now available for analysis, ATSIC commissioned Quantitative Evaluation and Design (QED) Pty Ltd to replicate the 1991 Census analysis, providing comparisons of the level of overcrowding of Indigenous households recorded in the 1991 and 1996 censuses by: various geographic regions, such as State/Territory/metropolitan/urban/rural areas and ATSIC Regional Council areas ; different types of housing tenure. This report presents findings from the 1996 Census and, when appropriate, compares them with corresponding estimates from the 1991 Census. The report is primarily descriptive, presenting tabulated and graphical data and comments on it which aim to highlight the variations between regions and tenures |
