Quantify Strategic Insights recently provided small area estimates of the population living with a disability for a Victorian City Council to assist with the development of its inclusiveness strategy.
Quantify’s estimates were based on a model that was drawn from Census data, the Australian Bureau of Statistics Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers, and the most up-to-date population estimates.
This allowed Quantify to estimate of the number of persons living with a disability in the Council area broken down by key characteristics:
- age group;
- sex;
- geography (SA2/suburb/neighbourhood);
- disability status and degree of need for assistance.
A methodology paper that outlines the project and highlights the type of data derived from the model can be downloaded here:
If your Council is looking to better understand the number of residents living with a disability, Quantify Strategic Insights can help you.
