Introduction
Planwisely provides a powerful demographic filter module that helps you to understand the complex demographic data available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
You can access the Demographics module by clicking on in the left-hand sidebar.
Setting up your filter
The Demographic Filter module has a number of different settings that can be used to visualise the spatial distribution of a particular demographic. We offer three measures of this distribution:
- Density
- Proportion (of the total population)
- Number
The demographics are provided for two ABS census years: 2011 and 2016
We also provide demographics for four different geographies:
SA1 gives the most fine grained demographic information, but you may have occasions where the larger geographies are more useful or convenient.
The demographic filters we provide are:
- Gender
- Income (weekly)
- Age
Once you have selected your desired settings you can add the demographic filter to the map using the eye icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the module. The filter can also be removed from the map using the same button .
After you have added your filter to the map, any further changes to the settings will be automatically reflected on the map after a short pause.
