Online Tools
As well as access to data in the form of publications and other fixed formats (see Queensland by Theme and Publications above), this site offers online tools which allow you to extract data to your own specifications or to test scenarios.
QRSIS (Queensland Regional Statistical Information System)
The Queensland Regional Statistical Information System (QRSIS) is a regional database developed by the Office of Economic and Statistical Research. QRSIS is designed to provide easy and immediate access to various time-series collections of economic, social and demographic data for regions throughout Queensland – including the newly reformed local government regions.
QRSIS holds the most recent regional statistical information available from a variety of Australian and state government sources. QRSIS is immediately updated with the release of contemporary statistics for selected data collections. QRSIS-generated tables can be printed, saved or exported into other applications for analysis.
Thematic Mapping
The Thematic Mapping tool allows users to map data from selected collections in QRSIS. The thematic maps of Queensland provide a unique and informative representation of the state’s economy, people and regions. Thematic maps allow for quick identification of data relationships and comparisons between small area geographic regions. Characteristics such as persons aged 65 and over, gross value of crops, non-residential buildings approved and persons born overseas can be viewed and analysed thematically for both the local government areas and statistical local areas.
Queensland Regional Profiles
The Queensland Regional Profiles are dynamic (automated) statistical reports on communities in Queensland. The reports are updated with the latest demographic, social and economic data available. Profile topics currently include: population, Indigenous, country of birth, one parent families, school students, post-school qualifications, unemployment rate and labour force and building approvals. Many more topics will be added throughout 2009. Region types available for profiling include Statistical Divisions and Local Government Areas (LGAs) - both pre-reform and reformed. State Electoral Divisions will be available in the next few weeks. The user also has the ability to easily combine LGAs to create customised regions or catchments for profiling.
