State / Territories:

States/Territories are the largest spatial unit in the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) framework. In aggregate, they cover Australia without gaps or overlaps.

 
SA4 – Statistical Areas Level 4

Statistical Areas Level 4 (SA4) may be defined as regions, and are designed to reflect one or more whole labour markets. SA4s contain populations of over 100,000 people.

SA2 – Statistical Areas Level 2

SA2s are primarily based on State suburbs and localities. In urban areas SA2s largely conform to whole suburbs and combinations of whole suburbs, while in rural areas they define functional zones of social and economic links. SA2s are built up from one or more whole SA1s.

SA1 – Statistical Areas Level 1

The Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) is the second smallest geographic area defined in the ASGS. The SA1 has been designed for use as the smallest unit for the processing and release of Census data.

Forecast small areas are an .id defined geographic area developed for the purposes of forecasting. They are SA1 derived areas, which are sub SA1 in growth areas and aggregated SA1s in more mature/stable areas. Forecast small areas tend to contain approx. 400 households or 1,000 people.

SAFi is the preferred geography to look at the sequencing and timing of development in growth areas.

The default setting in .id Placemaker is to show or view the appropriate geographic area for the scale you are viewing the map. This is 'Auto' mode. 

If you want to enforce the map to show different areas, you will need to select the Manual setting by clicking on the orange radio button either in the Standard areas panel to the right, or the Layers panel to right. 

Turning on the manual setting, also allows you to view multiple areas at once. A tick box becomes available next to each area for you to select.  

In Auto mode, forecast data is presented at a default scale. 

If you want to force the forecast data to be viewed at a different geography or area you need to enable Manual mode (above tip) 

1. Open the 'Areas' panel 

2. Select the icon to the right of the layer name to 'Apply dataset to area'. In the image below forecasts are presented at SA4 level, as the icon is red. To change the view to show forecasts at SA2, click the icon highlighted to change it.
