ABS iPhone APP

The Australian Bureau of Statistics has released  the latest version (v1.2) of it’s informative “ABS Stats” Mobile App, now  available from the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. This  versatile data App was recently a finalist in the “2013 Excellence in Government Awards” for Service &  Delivery.

 The  App is extremely useful for  assessing demographics in relation to property buying for owner-occupiers and  investors alike. It essentially provides a snap shot of an area and compares it  to other areas you may be more familiar with, allowing the user to assess how  the demographics compare and how that changes the infrastructure and services  available.

The ABS Mobile App offers four categories of data & information:

Key  Indicators:
With access to 33 key economic indicators  including CPI, GDP and unemployment updated constantly as new data becomes  available, this category will assist with making better purchasing  decisions.

Census  Data:
Providing the most up-to-date data about people,  families and dwellings in postal zones and Commonwealth electoral divisions  helping to detail specific information about any area you may be considering  purchasing in.

 Population:
This option allows you to view population growth in a specific area with real time updates and calculates projections in forward time.

 The ABS Stats mobile app is available for download from the iTunes store  for free.
