A statistical snapshot of Wyndham has found the municipality ranks among the highest in the state for some categories of youth disadvantage.
The Public Health Information Development Unit (PHIDU) at Torrens University recently released an online population health atlas for towns and suburbs across the nation, with data from 2016 onwards (www.torrens.edu.au/blog/new-report-reveals-health-and-socioeconomic-inequalities-of-australian-children and phidu.torrens.edu.au/current/maps/sha-topics/child youth/lga-single-map/atlas.html).
PHIDU director Professor John Glover said there were “some areas of concern, reflecting poorer outcomes now and across the life cycle” in Wyndham.
This included that 21.6 per cent of children (13,796 in total) in Wyndham are living in low-income, welfare-dependent families.
