2016 Homelessness data

Last week Census released the 2016 homeless estimates (see knowledge base entry here). We have put together an interactive dashboard of the findings comparing 2011 and 2016 rate per 10,000 population by Victorian LGAs:

We have also set up this dashboard in excel format where you can select 2 Victorian LGAs for comparison. This Excel version presents the information in a way that is easy to print a snapshot for your region.
