Community Profile
Introduction
Burwood Council’s community profile is a tool to help you understand the Burwood community. It offers a snapshot that describes the various components of our community. This includes who we are as a community, what we do as residents, where we live, and how we live as a community.
Please scroll down and select the appropriate links to download the Community Profile or sections of the profile. You will need a PDF Viewer to view any downloadable documents; click here to download Adobe Reader.
“Who We Are” explores our community’s population, ages of residents, the types of families, individual needs and culture. “What We Do” explores the regular activities we undertake as residents; such as education, employment and unpaid work. “Where We Live” explores the physical boundaries of the Burwood LGA. Our housing, income, facilities and transport is addressed in “How We Live”. (N.B. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole).
How these statistics impact upon the community in terms of community sustainability, social cohesion, a functional economy, infrastructure and service provision is explored in Burwood Council’s Social Plan.
The statistics referred to here are based on Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2006 Census data. If you are interested in finding out more about your community you can go to the ABS website for more statistics and demographic information. Also, in each section you will find links to useful websites where you can explore the topic that interests you.
