You know women are having babies when they're older, but seeing it charted like this is fascinating! If you look at where the yellow meets the blue, you see that only 20% of Australian babies had a mother over 30 in 1975, but by 2019 over 60% of babies do.

We're now mapping youth unemployment (the % of young people (age 16-24) receiving an unemployment benefit). The maps clearly show how much worse youth unemployment is outside the capital cities. Interrogate the data yourself at communityinsightaustralia.or….

We've just updated the #unemployment data! Below is the variation in #Lithgow's unemployment rates compared to Inner East Brisbane and Queensland. Subscribers can generate charts like this for any area in Australia compared to any 2 other areas.

Very pleased to announce we now map #homelessness to SA2 (suburb) level. Hopefully these data and maps are useful for those working with @Homelessness_WA @HomelessnessNSW and similar initiatives in other states.

Our layperson's explanation of SA1s, SA2s and SA3s can be found here communityinsightaustralia.or…. If you've never heard of them, they are the geographies that @ABSStats publishes their #Census in, and the #dataishere when you need it :)

We are so excited to have won the Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Award (@apseaawards) for People and Community in Western Australia! There were some top notch contenders, so it really is an incredible honour! #dataishere

A huge honour for us - we're elated!

Incredible work from @uscensusbureau and @oppinsights to map the outcomes of children from different neighbourhoods in the US - read about it census.gov/ces/pdf/opportuni… and check it out opportunityatlas.org/ - theoretically possible in Australia too... right @ABSCensus?

Great to see the Australian Cancer Atlas has been launched - another tool to understand cancer incidence and survival. Check it out at atlas.cancer.org.au/app #usemaps #dataishere #locationbasedhealth

“Seeing data together allows for collective ‘Aha!’ moments” @KatieStubley #dataishere

“One of the challenges as we get more and more data is people’s ability to comprehend and use it,” @paulisaachsen at our Perth launch this morning. We’re tackling this challenge head on! #dataishere
