Economic Portrait The Economic Portrait is a 50-page analysis of an area's local economy, from Census and other data. It describes the characteristics and changes of the local economy, including industries, occupations and the local labour supply-demand balance.

Common features

  • The emphasis in Portraits is on words that explain ABS data. Many people find tables of data perplexing, and charts are often not understood. Each portrait has thousands of words explaining the meaning of the data.
  • All the text is generated automatically using our unique Portrait Painter software. The words explain the main features of your community that data analysis reveals.
  • You can edit the text before printing or publishing, if you want to add further comment.
  • Tables have key results highlighted.
  • Charts are customised to show important factors clearly.
  • Every Portrait gives statistics meaning by comparing your community with a larger area, which you nominate (e.g. your region or state). Where relevant, Portraits compare data across two Censuses to identify changes and trends.
  • All Portraits are provided as a PDF that is ready to distribute or publish electronically, or print as a full-colour report.
  • Portraits can be printed as web pages, too.
  • Portraits are prepared in Excel ™ and provided as a workbook. You can edit the Excel version as much as you want, then re-publish yourself. Copy and paste to other reports!
  • The workbook comes with attached sheets showing the raw ABS Census data. You can trace all numbers in the Portrait back to the original Census data, or look up other facts.
