It is part of the Indigenous Structure, a geographical standard for the publication and analysis of statistics about the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia. Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s) aggregate to Indigenous Locations which aggregate to Indigenous Areas, and they in turn aggregate to Indigenous Regions. The boundaries in the Indigenous Structure are built from whole SA1s. SA1s are designed with reference to language groups, information from people with local knowledge of certain communities, and transport networks to identify both remote and non-remote discrete communities and urban areas with a high usual resident Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. In some cases, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities that are too small to be identified separately have been combined with other nearby and associated communities.Data and geography referencesSource data publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Indigenous LocationsFurther information: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2 - Indigenous StructureSource: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)Made possible by the Digital Atlas of AustraliaThe Digital Atlas of Australia is a key Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia, highlighted in the Data and Digital Government Strategy.

Indigenous Locations are designed to represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with a minimum population of about 90 people. Changes to Indigenous Locations are determined through consultation with the Centre for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Statistics based on statistical and community requirements. Whole Indigenous Locations aggregate to form Indigenous Areas (IAREs).

Area coveredDescriptionIndigenous Areas (IARE)
Indigenous Areas (IARE) are medium sized geography units designed to facilitate the release of more detailed statistics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
IAREs are made from Indigenous Locations (ILOCs).
Using IAREs with Census data
Use IAREs to balance the need for specific location data and more detailed information about the characteristics of that data. If you require information about a specific area, use ILOCs. If greater availability of data is more important, use larger Indigenous Regions (IREGs).
