Indigenous Regions (IREGs) are large geographical units loosely based on the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission boundaries. They are created by aggregating one or more IAREs. The greater population of IREGs enables the highest level of analysis of attribute data through greater cross classification of variables compared with IAREs and ILOCs. For the 2016 ASGS, IREGs are defined to cover the whole of geographic Australia. IREGs do not cross S/T borders. Further information about these regions can be found in the following publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 2 - Indigenous Structure, July 2016 (cat no. 1270.0.55.002). http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/mf/1270.0.55.002 |
