Understand how economic impact differs across Australian LGA's.
The State of the Regions (SOR) dataset is the country’s only economic and employment dataset that provides annual national economic and employment information at the LGA level.
The SOR dataset is intended for use in local economic development planning and project assessment. Every year, 100s of councils across Australia use our location specific economic data to inform policy decisions, attract investment and secure grant money for essential community infrastructure.
Understand how economic impact differs across Australian LGA's.
Utilise annual economic data from 2000/1 to 2022/23 to monitor progress and comprehensively plan for the future of your local area.
Apply national, state, regional and metro benchmarks to inform place-based planning at the local level.
.id deliver Australia’s leading economic modelling and detailed industry data at the local level.
The latest (SOR) update expands the dataset to include data from 2000/01 to 2022/23, providing a rich historical context for your analysis, which is critical as we move further away from the 2021 ABS Census.
You can now explore key economic indicators, including:
- Local job trends (based on place of work)
- Gross Regional Product (GRP)
- Industry-specific Value Added, Output, and Sales (2-digit classification)
- Employment breakdown by industry (2-digit classification)
- Trade patterns across industries (2-digit classification)
- Worker productivity by industry
