2. Age pyramids 2001 and 2009
3. Indigenous and non-Indigenous population distribution by remoteness region, 2001
4. Distribution of Indigenous Populations in Metropolitan Areas by Socioeconomic Status of Neighbourhood, 1991, 1996, and 2001
5. Indigenous Unemployment Rates in the Highest Unemployment Sydney Neighbourhoods: 2001
6. Indigenous/Non-Indigenous population change in select regional centres1996-2001
7. Indigenous/non-Indigenous net migration rates by age in select regional centres1996-2001
8. Change in Indigenous share of population: inland towns 1996-2006
9. Indigenous settlement distribution
10. Select services and infrastructure at discrete Indigenous communities by settlement size category: Northern Territory 2006
11. Population growth and housing need: Wadeye 2003-2023 157 functional dwellings
Occupancy rate of 17 per dwelling
122 extra dwellings required by 2023 just to maintain this rate
465 extra dwellings need by 2023 to meet government standards
= $53 million in 2003
12. Indigenous settlement and mobility regions in remote Australia
13. Indigenous per cent of total town populations pre- and post-potential migration
14. Select indicators of Indigenous disadvantage in the Pilbara region, 2006
15. Select social indicators across the life span: Ratios of Indigenous to non-Indigenous levels
16. Take home messages Indigenous disadvantage is multi-layered producing a vicious cycle of outcomes that accumulate over the life span
Demographic ‘hotspots’ are emerging where this multi-layered disadvantage is becoming spatially concentrated
Policy should coalesce around these structural settings that transcend jurisdictional boundaries and require regionalised/localised response
Poor City Suburbs, Regional Towns, Town Camps, Indigenous Towns, Outstations
