Families in regional, rural and remote Australia
This Facts Sheet describes how the characteristics of families differ between the "city" and the "country" or "bush". While& words such as these are used in everyday parlance, it is very difficult to identify exactly where the city ends and the country begins. One way of categorising regions is in terms of the& road distance from services, and this is the standard method to define remoteness for statistical purposes in Australia. Most of the information in this Facts Sheet is provided for: major cities, and inner regional, outer regional, remote, and very remote regions.
