Regional Indicators

Standard regional indicators provide a statistical summary of key economic and social information for a particular region. A regional statistics database and/or report can assist users of regional statistics to understand the composition and economic and social structure of the region and to help monitor trends in economic growth or decline. Standard regional indicators can be prepared on various geographical levels including:

• national

• local government area (LGA)
• statistical local area (SLA)
