7. The analysis uses Australian Bureau of Statistics defined states suburbs. These consist of aggregations of census collection districts to localities gazetted by the geographic place name authority of each state/ territory. The boundary for metropolitan regions is the statistical division.

10. Due to space considerations, I do not consider the entire distribution of suburbs in this paper, but rather concentrate only on the extremes. Readers interested in placing the discussion presented here in the broader context should consult S. Baum, Suburban Scars: Australian Cities and Socio-economic Deprivation, Urban Research Program, Research Paper, Griffith University, Brisbane, 2008.
11. It is important to note that we are not comparing disadvantaged suburbs with advantaged suburbs but rather considering how suburbs are placed along a continuum from most deprived to least deprived.

20. The fact that Brisbane and Perth have no suburbs in the most deprived category does not mean that there are no deprived suburbs in these cities. Rather it means that when compared to other places the deprived places in Brisbane and Perth are not as far along the continuum of deprivation.
