Aboriginal1 population and household projection data for future years are required for needs analysis, policy formation, program and project planning, and service delivery.

The 2011 Census of Population and Housing data has been released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) at various geographic and subject levels. The count of Aboriginal people in Australia increased by 20.5% between the 2006 and 2011 Censuses.

This large increase in Aboriginal population estimates presents a challenge, particularly for the delivery of housing to Aboriginal people. Housing is central to overcoming Indigenous disadvantage, including overcrowding and homelessness. Housing enables a stable and real opportunity to access services such as health, education, employment, recreational and community services, all of which are required to improve quality of life for Aboriginal people and help break the cycle of disadvantage that many Aboriginal people face. To assess future housing needs, updated population and household projections are needed.

To fulfil the urgent need for demographic data for future years, the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) is pleased to present this report which the Department of Family and Community Services as well as other agencies, and data users may find useful.

The projections in this report were compiled by Noor A. Khalidi, a highly experienced demographer who worked on the AHO’s well received Indicative New South Wales Indigenous Population Projections 2006 to 2011. Dr Khalidi is a member of the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Demographic Statistics Expert Advisory Group.

Population and households projections were carried out by: New South Wales (NSW) total Indigenous and Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) region, Family and Community Services (FACS) districts, Indigenous regions (IREG) and by the Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA). The standard demographic cohort-component method of population projections was used based on the estimated resident Indigenous population on 30 June 2011 (2011 Census of Population and Housing).

These projections show that the total Indigenous population of NSW will increase from 208,364 persons on 30 June 2011 to 343,630 persons on 30 June 2031. Over the next 20 years, all NSW regions will experience positive Indigenous population growth.

Over the next 20 years, the NSW Indigenous population will grow, on average, 2.50% per year. Projections show that Indigenous populations of regional areas (both inner and outer regional areas) grow faster than the NSW Indigenous average. The Indigenous populations of Major Cities and Remote/Very Remote areas experience slower growth rates than the average NSW Indigenous population growth (Tables 12 and 13).

At 2.73% per annum and 2.61% per annum, the growth rate in the AHO Northern Region and Western Region respectively are estimated above the total NSW Indigenous population average growth rate. However, at 2.16% per year, the Sydney and South Eastern Region growth rate is slower than the average NSW Indigenous growth rate. Nevertheless, these regions cover very large and diverse areas with average annual growth rates obscuring many local variations. These local variations are better reflected in the estimated growth rates for FACS districts.

For the past 20 years, Indigenous fertility in NSW has been steadily rising. An increase in the Indigenous women’s fertility rate – measured as total fertility rate (TFR) – from 2.57 in 1996 to 2.61 in 2006 and 2.78 in 2011 has been observed. However, Indigenous fertility rate is higher in inner and outer regional areas (2.98) and much higher in remote and very remote areas (3.15).

Combined with very slow improvements in adult-age mortality rates, this has resulted in a young age-structure population. The indigenous fertility rate is not anticipated to decline in the immediate future. The projected median age is also anticipated to show little change over the next 20 years. This means the Indigenous population will remain a young-age structure for the next 20 years.

The results of the 2011 Census show that, while there are more Indigenous baby girls aged 0 to 4 than baby boys (sex ratio=97.2), the overall sex ratio (the proportion of males to females) of the Indigenous population is almost even (sex ratio=100.9). Projections show that the sex composition of NSW’s Indigenous population measured by sex ratio will not alter over the next 20 years.

Projections show that over the next 20 years the number of Indigenous households will increase 135% compared with a 65% increase in the total Indigenous population growth in NSW. The increase is mainly due to growth in lone-person households and couple families without children (Table 19).

However, the average annual household growth rate is expected to slow from 6% during the period 2011–16 to 4.3% during the period 2026–31.

It is expected the fastest Indigenous household increase—5.3% per year—will occur in the Far West Region (Dubbo). The slowest Indigenous household increase—3.0% per year—will occur in the Sydney Region.

Summary Table 2, presents the projected increase in Indigenous households in the projected year by region. The table only shows the number of households added to the 2011 base-year households.

1.1 METHODOLOGY

The standard demographic cohort-component method of population projection was used for this study. Projections are based on:

• initial base population by males and females populations in five-year age groups; • initial base fertility levels and assumed future changes in fertility; • initial base mortality levels and assumed future changes in mortality; and • initial base estimates of migration and assumed future changes.

1.2 WHO IS AN INDIGENOUS PERSON?

Since 1996, a standard Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identification question has been used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in censuses. In the 1996 Census, for the first time, people were given the choice to identify themselves as being of both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin. The accompanying instruction to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identification question was changed for the 1996 Census to allow people to mark both of the ‘yes’ boxes (ABS, 2011):

A definition of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person was given in a High Court judgement in the case of Commonwealth v. Tasmania (1983) 46 ALR 625. This definition states that an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who identifies as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is accepted as such by the community in which he or she lives.

Although the census question relates to descent, some respondents will interpret the question to mean both descent and identification. The question also does not take into account the third part of the definition—community acceptance.

1.3 BASE POPULATION AND REGIONS

The most recent Census of Population and Housing was conducted by the ABS on 9 August 2011. We have used the 2011 Census outcomes as the basis for projections in this report.

Population and households projections are presented by NSW total Indigenous and the following regions:

• three NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) regions; • fifteen Family and Community Services (FACS) regions; • seven Indigenous regions (IREG); and • five remoteness areas (RA).

Australia’s first national census was held in 1911. Since 1961 there has been a census every five years (the frequency specified in the Census and Statistics Act 1905). The objective of the census is to count the number of people in Australia on Census Night to identify the key characteristics of the people and of the dwellings in which they live.

Following changes to the Australian Constitution as a result of the 1967 referendum, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were included in official estimates of the Australian population. From the 1971 Census onwards, the ABS used improved strategies to count Australia’s Indigenous population.

However, for several reasons, the reported counts of people at places of usual residence on Census Night (as presented in Table 1) cannot be used for population projections. Firstly, the base population for projections needs to be the mid-year (30 June) estimate, rather than the census night estimate—census counts should be adjusted with births, deaths and migration data from 9 August back to 30 June. Secondly, the census count needs to be adjusted for possible under-coverage/under-reporting using the post enumeration survey (PES) results. The estimates resulting from these adjustments are known as the estimated resident population (ERP) at 30 June 2011.

Base population for population and household projections are the estimated resident Indigenous population of NSW at 30 June 2011. ABS published preliminary estimates of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous resident population as at 30 June 2011 in Australian Demographic Statistics (cat. no. 3101.0) on 27 September 2012. The ERPs are adjusted population census counts to 30 June 2011 taking into consideration births, deaths, PES estimates and migration estimates.

2011 Census estimates were published by five-year age groups, sex and state/territory. No further disaggregation will be available until final estimates are compiled and released. Based on the above adjustments, the estimated resident Indigenous population of NSW at 30 June 2011 was 208,364 persons (Table 2) compared to the census counts of 172,625 persons on 9 August 2011. This represents an increase of 20.7%.

At the national level, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people count increased by 20.5% between the 2006 and 2011 Censuses. These estimates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians (based on the 2011 Census and PES results) were higher than expected when compared with the corresponding 2006 estimates.

The estimated preliminary resident Aboriginal population of NSW at 30 June 2011 constitutes 31% of the total Indigenous population of Australia and 2.9% of the total NSW population.

At sub-state levels, the ABS has published estimates of Aboriginal population by sex but not by age-groups. As a result, the base population by age-groups and sex for various regions used in these projections have been derived by prorate. The census counts of place of usual residence by age-groups and sex were adjusted using the final rebased estimated resident population by state level age-groups.

1.4 BIRTHS

Annually, on average, Indigenous mothers give birth to 2,500 babies in NSW. In addition, there are about 1,400 births by non-Indigenous mothers and Aboriginal fathers. These births are also classified as Indigenous births and represent about 36% of the total Indigenous births (Table 4).

The observed fertility level and pattern of the non-Indigenous mothers differs from the Indigenous mothers. These figures are presented separately—to combine them would result in incorrect, low estimates of fertility rates for Indigenous mothers during the years projected. Indigenous births to non-Indigenous mothers are treated in this report as a special form of migration. This is because this form of population influx affects the population size of people under the age of one year.



1.4 BIRTHS (CON’T)

To determine the level and age pattern of Indigenous fertility in NSW we used two different approaches. First, data on registered births to Indigenous women by age for years 2006– 2010 were used to provide estimates of the level and pattern of Indigenous fertility (direct estimation method). This method is also known as ‘period fertility’. Secondly, estimates of the level and pattern of Indigenous fertility in NSW were obtained by applying an indirect method of fertility estimation using census data on the number of women by age groups by number of children ever born (CEB). We then compared the results of these two estimation methods to find out the fertility regime of the Indigenous women in NSW.

The 2006 and 2011 Census data on CEB by age groups of mothers have been extensively used in these projections.

A comparison of the results of the two fertility estimation methods suggests that Indigenous birth registration data in NSW are still not complete enough to provide reliable fertility estimates. Therefore, the results of the indirect fertility estimates based on census outcomes appear more reliable and are used in these projections.

The outcomes of the CEB indirect fertility estimation from 1996, 2006 and 2011 Censuses show consistent patterns of fertility. They also show a marginal increase in the Indigenous women’s fertility rate from 2.57 in 1996 to 2.61 in 2006 and 2.78 in 2011.

The observed fertility rates for the 2011 base year are presented in Table 3 below by three broad remoteness areas. Due to the small number of observations in some areas, we have combined the ABS five remoteness areas (Major Cities, Inner Regional Areas, Outer Regional Areas, Remote Areas and Very Remote Areas) into three broad remoteness areas (Major Cities, Regional Areas and Remote Areas).

Table 3 shows that Indigenous fertility differs by remoteness in NSW. With a mean childbearing age of 26.8 years, the TFR of Indigenous women in Major Cities is estimated at 2.49. In Regional NSW the mean childbearing age is estimated to be slightly younger than Major Cities at 25.4 years with a TFR of 3.0. In Remote NSW the mean childbearing age is estimated to be younger than Major Cities and Regional NSW at 24.7 years with a higher TFR of 3.15.

1.5 DEATHS

Mortality levels are a key component of Indigenous population projection. These are generally measured by the expectations of life at birth and age-sex pattern of mortality and are usually taken from Indigenous life tables.

The ABS publication Experimental Life Tables for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, 2005-2007 indicates that the NSW expectation of life at birth for Indigenous males, for the period 2005–2007, was estimated at 69.9 years and 75.0 years for Indigenous females (ABS, May 2009, p. 32).

Previously published estimates of life expectancies were 60.0 years for Indigenous males and 65.1 years for Indigenous females (ABS 2006, Deaths Australia 3302.0, p. 77).The ABS 2009 estimates, if correct, dramatically reduce Indigenous mortality levels. This will have considerable implications on the projected size of the Indigenous population in future years.

Subsequent to this ABS publication, Queensland Health published a discussion paper presenting, for the first time in Australia, estimated Indigenous life tables by remoteness (Queensland Health, 2012). This is a major advance in our understanding of Indigenous mortality levels and patterns in regional and remote areas as it is widely believed that mortality differs by remoteness. This is the case for the general as well as the Indigenous population. However, until the Queensland Health publication there was no hard data to support this belief.

Mortality differs by remoteness because of differences in the availability of health and medical services in major cities, regional and remote areas, and people’s unequal access to such services (Table 4).


TABLE 4: INDIGENOUS PROBABILITIES OF DEATH FROM AGE (X) TO THE NEXT AGE GROUP BY SEX AND BY QLD REMOTENESS CATEGORIES AND TOTAL NSW, 2005–2007

Using the Queensland estimated mortality differentials by remoteness and the estimated levels of mortality for NSW by the ABS, we have estimated the probable mortality levels by remoteness in NSW (Table 5).

We also examined the NSW death registration data (adjusted for completeness) and estimated ERPs by sex for the years 2006 and 2011. This revealed a positive trend in the resultant mortality rates for Indigenous people of NSW. The estimated life expectancies at birth show a 0.369 year improvement per year for males and 0.256 years improvement per year for Indigenous females. Estimates for projection years are presented in Table 5.

To improve population projection outcomes, the estimated mortality differentials by remoteness and the expected trends are incorporated in the projections.

1.6 MIGRATION

In the absence of international migration (and apart from the effects of births to Indigenous mothers and deaths), population influx due to interstate migration affects the size, age and sex distribution of NSW’s total Indigenous population. Regional population numbers are also affected by inter-regional migration. Similarly, Indigenous births to non-Indigenous mothers affect the size of the Indigenous population.

The 2001 and 2006 Census returns did not register any significant evidence of population influx due to change of identification. This phenomenon is yet to be examined for the 2011 Census outcomes. Identification change is therefore not factored in these projections.

Population and household data on place of usual residence from the 2011 Census counts and place of usual residence 5 years before the 2011 Census were extracted using the ABS online services (Table Builder). Internal migration data at the state and regional levels were derived from the census question on places of usual residence 5 years before the census. These were compared with data on places of usual residence on Census Night.

1.6.1 Interstate migrationInterstate migration continues to negatively affect the size of the NSW Indigenous population. The 2011 Census data on places of usual residence 5 years before the census shows that, on average, the state annual net Indigenous migration is around -317 persons. The derived similar figure from the 2006 Census was -350 (AHO, 2008, p. 8).

1.6.2 Inter-regional migrationInter-regional migration data were derived from the census question on places of usual residence 5 years before the census compared with data on places of usual residence on Census Night. Local government area (LGA) data were used as the basis for deriving regional aggregates. Cross tabulation of LGAs against the above questions provided a matrix from which we could construct in-migrants, out-migrants and net LGA migration data by age groups and sex. We then incorporated the above data in the population projections.

1.6.3 Inter-remoteness migrationABS will release detailed census data by remoteness areas in August 2013. We therefore had no option but to derive migration estimates using the available data by LGAs and the ABS LGA to remoteness concordances (ABS, January 2013). For the remoteness areas, the data were derived from aggregating LGAs by remoteness. LGAs were assigned to remoteness areas based on the remoteness classification of the place of usual residence of most of their population.

TABLE 7: BIRTHS OF ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLES, NEW SOUTH WALES, 2006 TO 2010

1.6.4 Indigenous births to non-Indigenous mothersAnnually in NSW, about 36% of the total Indigenous births are to non-Indigenous women and Indigenous fathers (Table 7). In these projections, births to non-Indigenous mothers are treated as a special type of population influx (migration) that will affect the size of the population under the age of one year during the projected years. In projecting the number of Aboriginal births to non-Indigenous mothers with Indigenous fathers (paternal fertility), we applied age-specific fertility rates of non-Indigenous mothers to the estimates of the Indigenous male population by age group 5 years older than mothers. This was because Indigenous fathers were more than 3 years older than the non-Indigenous mothers.

1.7 HOUSEHOLDS

In the 2011 Census an Indigenous household is defined as:

“If a household has at least one Indigenous person who is a usual resident and who was present on Census Night it will be classified as a Household with Indigenous persons.” (ABS, 2901.0, Census Dictionary, 2011 - INGDWTD).

This definition is applied to all “occupied private dwellings”:

1. Household with Indigenous person(s) 2. Other Households 3. Not applicable.

Based on the above definition, the total number of persons living in Indigenous households is usually more than the total counted or projected Indigenous population for a given area. This is because the household may include non-Indigenous persons as well.

A census of population and housing is held every five years. It gives a count of households, families and individuals at the census reference date. Household projections in this report are based on household (dwellings) counts from the 2011 Census, the observed trends in the relativities over the last three censuses, ERP for 30 June 2011, and our population projections for 30 June 2016 to 2031 (Table 8).

TABLE 8: NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH INDIGENOUS PERSON(S), BY SELECTED HOUSEHOLD INDICATORS 2001, 2006 AND 2011, NSW

For these projections we have adapted a propensity method based on that developed by McDonald and Kippen and used in Household Trends and Projections: Victoria, 1986–2011. The method identifies relativities from the Census of Population and Housing for persons living in various household types. In these projections, we used households living arrangement types (see Table 8 above).

The trends observed in the relativities over the last three censuses were assumed to continue up to 2031. We applied this scenario to projected populations to estimate the number of households by various households living arrangements.

On average, the NSW Indigenous population will grow 2.50% per year during the next 20 years. Projections show that Indigenous populations of Inner and Outer regional areas grow faster than the NSW Indigenous average, while Indigenous populations of Major Cities and Remote/Very Remote areas experience slower growth rates than the average Indigenous NSW population growth.

At 2.73% per annum and 2.61% per annum the growth rate in the AHO Northern Region and Western Region respectively are estimated above the total NSW Indigenous population average growth rate. However at 2.16% per year, the AHO Sydney South Eastern Region growth is slower than the average NSW Indigenous growth rate. These regions cover very large and diverse areas and the average annual growth rates hide many local variations. These local variations are better reflected in the estimated growth rates of much smaller FACS regions.

The projected growth rates of the Indigenous population of NSW from 2011 to 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031 are presented in Table 10 by various regions and remoteness areas.

2.1.2 Population age compositionFigure 1 shows the age-structure of the NSW Indigenous males and females as a pyramid. A dent or bulge in the age-groups 20 to 39 appears to distort a perfectly shaped pyramid with a large base and a sharp peak. This seems to be as a result of a considerable decline in birth rate 30 to 44 years ago. The birth rate, thereafter, slowly started to recover. Over the past 20 years Indigenous fertility in NSW has risen steadily. Table 3 shows the increase in the Indigenous women’s fertility rate from 2.57 in 1996 to 2.61 in 2006 and 2.78 in 2011. However, Table 3 also shows that the Indigenous fertility rate is higher in regional areas (TFR=2.98) and much higher in remote and very remote areas (TFR=3.15).

Combined with very slow improvements in adult age mortality rates, this situation has created a population with a very large base that sharply contracts in old age. In other words, a population with a very young age-structure. We have no reason to anticipate a decline in Indigenous fertility rate in the near future.

Consistent with the above observation, the projected median ages of the population show little evidence of change over the next 20 years (Table 11).

TABLE 11: MEDIAN AGE OF THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION OF NSW BY SEX, 2011 TO 2031

2026 21.6 22.8 22.2

2031 21.4 22.4 21.9

Therefore, the age structure of the Indigenous population will remain a young structure for the next 20 years as can be seen in the projected population age-pyramids for years 2021 and 2031 in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

2.1.3 Population sex composition

The results of the 2011 Census shows that while at ages 0 to 4 there are more Indigenous baby girls than baby boys (sex ratio=97.2), the overall sex ratio of the Indigenous population (the proportion of males to females) is almost even (sex ratio=100.9). Projection outcomes show that the sex composition of the Indigenous population of NSW measured by sex ratio will not alter over the next 20 years .

2.2.1 Household typesProjections show that over the next 20 years the number of Indigenous households in NSW will increase 135% compared with a 65% increase in the total Indigenous population during this period. This large increase is mainly due to the growth in lone-person households (from 15% to 21%) and couple households with no children (from 15% to 19.4%). The fragmentation of Indigenous household structures will have considerable implications for housing needs of Indigenous people in NSW.

However, the average annual household growth rate is expected to slow down from 6% during the period 2011–16 to 4.3% during the period 2026–31.

The fastest Indigenous household increase of 5.3% is expected to occur in Far West Region (Dubbo). The slowest Indigenous household increase of 3.0% per year is expected to occur in Sydney Region.

There have been substantial changes in family structure in the last 30 years (ABS, 2002). Ageing of the population and divorce are two factors that may be contributing to these changes. The trend in changing family structure is reflected in Table 14 above.

2.2.2 Household tenure Tables 13 and 14 show Indigenous households projection outcomes by tenure types in NSW. Projection outcomes suggest noticeable changes in the tenure type of the Indigenous dwellings over the next 20 years. While the proportion of fully-owned dwellings will not change considerably, the proportion of mortgaged properties will increase from 26% in 2011 to 38.6% in 2031. On the other hand, the proportion of renting households will decrease slightly, from 55.3% in 2011 to 46% in 2031.

2.2.3 Age of household heads In 2011 nearly half of household heads were aged 25 to 44 years (46.4%). In 2031 this proportion will decrease to 28.4%. The share of those aged 45 to 54 and 54 to 64 will increase to 27.3% and 21.8% respectively.

2.2.4 Household weekly incomeProjection outcomes show that NSW Indigenous household’s weekly income will improve. Those households with an equalised weekly income above the Sydney median will increase 10 percentage points.

2.2.5 Housing loans repaymentsAs a consequence of more and more Indigenous households moving into the housing market over the next 20 years, a larger proportion of household income will be spent on housing loans.

2.2.6 Average persons per householdChanges in average number of Indigenous persons in households are presented in Table 15. Taking into account the higher-than-expected Indigenous population (2011 Census), we have estimated the equivalent re-based population for 2006 and 2001. This ensures consistency of working changes in the average household size.

2001 48,628 135,866 2.8

2006 56,461 169,749 2.9

2011 73,912 208,364 2.7

2016 99,928 234,893 2.4

2021 135,052 266,914 2.1

2026 153,410 303,195 2.0

2031 173,868 343,630 2.0

Table 15 shows that over the next two decades, Indigenous households will become smaller. The average Indigenous household size in 2001 was 2.8 people, decreasing to 2.7 people in 2011. This is expected to decrease over the next 20 years to 2.0 persons. In reality, Indigenous households may also contain non-Indigenous persons—the above numbers indicate Indigenous persons in the household only.

This decrease in average household size is related to the increase in the number of people living alone. It may also relate to delayed marriage. In 2011 there were 11,180 Indigenous persons living alone. The proportion of people living alone will increase from 15% in 2011 to 21% in 2031. While older people are more likely to be living alone than younger people, more young people are likely to be living alone than in the past. This is one indicator of social change in Australia.

Projected regional household growth rates are presented in Table 16.

Detailed households projection outcomes are presented in Section 2.4 of this report.

FERTILITY

Total fertility rate (TFR) is the total number of children a woman will give birth to during her entire reproductive life given that the age-specific fertility rates remain constant.

MORTPAK for Windows 2003 procedure FERTPF is used to derive fertility estimates using information on children ever born (CEB) by age of mother. The essential methodology was developed by G. Mortara (1949). The variation included here was proposed by Arriaga (1983) and has the advantage of providing estimates of fertility change over time. In the same 1983 article, Arriaga presented an extension of the P/F technique originally developed by Brass (Brass and others, 1968). The Arriaga extension, presented in FERTPF, allows the demographer to estimate fertility at two points in time under conditions of fertility change. CEB data and the pattern of age-specific fertility is necessary from two enumerations when fertility has not been constant.

SEX RATIO

The total number of males divided by the total number of females and expressed in 100. A sex ratio over 100 is referred to as a high-sex ratio while a sex ratio below 100 is referred to low-sex ratio.

TRENDS

As numbers get smaller, confidence in their accuracy is reduced. Although no formal sampling has been carried out, it becomes more obvious that there is increased potential for error. Statistical methods can be used to model trend data in various ways and incorporate appropriate assumptions about the nature of the trend in the past, present and future. Projecting rates into the future gives an estimate of future occurrence rates.

In this project, we have used average annual percent change to calculate a projected rate/relativity. This is accomplished through linear extrapolation by iteratively increasing or decreasing the number or rate according to the average annual percent change of the observed.

PROJECTIONS

Procedure PROJUCT of the United Nations’ MORTPAK version 4.0 software has been used to produce projection outputs. The procedure projects annually a population by age and sex for up to 100 years, based on the initial population (by five-year age groups and sex) and an assumption of future changes in fertility, mortality and migration. The methodology used is cohort-component (see Shryock and Siegel, 1973). The steps are (1) estimation of projected levels and age patterns of mortality, fertility and migration for each single-year projection period; (2) estimation of the male and female populations by single years of age from the data in five-year age groups given as input; (3) sequential application of these annual age-specific mortality and fertility rates and migration to the population to provide annual projected populations by age and sex and demographic indicators.
