Australian Capital Territory in Focus, 2006

Canberra has one of the youngest populations when compared nationally, endured more days over 30 degrees Celsius than on average for the ACT, and has a higher proportion of students finishing Year 12 than any other state or territory, says the ABS in this annual report on the ACT. This publication is designed to provide a contemporary and comprehensive description of the social, demographic and economic structure of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). It also includes analyses relating to the physical environment, government, education, health, law and order, transport, tourism and housing. A chapter on the Australian Capital Region (ACR) is also included, covering a range of socio-economic statistics for the region.
