How to read a decile. The ABS ranks every suburb in Australia and splits them into ten equal groups. The group number is the decile. A lower number means more disadvantage. A higher number means less. Deciles 5 and 6 sit in the middle.
The score behind the decile averages 1,000 across Australia. Lower scores mean more disadvantage. The indexes describe an area, not any one household or school.
These figures describe people who live in the suburb, not the students at any one school. For school-level measures, see ICSEA on My School. Based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data, Census 2021 and SEIFA 2021 (CC BY 4.0).
