Where does the data come from? 

The confidentialised data from the ABS’s 2020 Survey of Income and Housing (SIH) was projected to the national population in a proprietary process based on Synthetic Population Models that accurately represent the total household and person populations of Australia.  The fine granularity of the Synthetic Population models which have many millions of georeferenced individual synthetic records and deep sociodemographic profiling means that the database the Household and Person estimates are more accurate than using regular geodemographic systems. The data from the synthetic population models is aggregated to SA1 level for upload into the geoTribes Explorer and to the level of SA1 + Dwelling Type + Age Band + Gender to create over 3M+ unique levels for data enhancement through the Quick Append and Living insights websites.

Because the data is made from cohorts of synthetic people, it can be used with absolute privacy confidence.

What Can I Do With it? 

The Household and Person Economics data supports a broad range of use cases including…

Improved Audience Selection

The Household and Person Economics measures can be used directly as geospatial audience measures in the geoTribes Explorer and in combination with a broad range of demographic measures in the Audience Finder. When appended to a customer database, the individual measures can be used to define audience segments or combined to create lookalike models.

Customer Needs Profiling

After appending the Household and Person Economics variables to a customer database, they can be used to create indexed profiles relative to the market to give deep insights into how the overall database or individual segments compare to the market.

This is particularly useful for determining differences in financial capacity for database segments and identifying database records with a high likelihood of experiencing financial distress.

Cluster Analyses

After appending the Household and Person Economics variables to customer databases, they can be combined with internal (behavioural) measures to create hybrid segmentation schemes.
