This dataset presents the footprint of economic activity for Australia's capital cities. The data is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) and spans the year of 2014.
This data has been created by the Grattan Institute for the Mapping Australia's Economy: Cities as Engines of Prosperity Report, Kelly, J-F., Donegan, P., Chisholm, C., & Oberklaid, M. published 20 July 2014. The report maps the Australian economy by the location of economic activity, defined as the dollar value of goods and services produced by workers within a particular area. It finds that economic activity is concentrated most heavily in the central business districts (CBDs) and inner areas of large cities.
