Australians love technology. Last year we bought over a million LCD and plasma TVs. Most households are now on broadband Internet, and more than half watch digital TV. DVD players and digital cameras are almost ubiquitous.

But the technology is not evenly distributed. Wealthier people buy more than those at the opposite end of the income spectrum. Households with children buy more games consoles. City dwellers are more likely than those in the bush to subscribe to pay TV.

The Australian Digital Atlas 2009 shows where the technology is installed, and where the demand is coming from. A totally new concept in market analysis in Australia, the Atlas marries Australian Bureau of Statistics census data with primary analysis from Connection Research’s Connected Home surveys.

The result is the most detailed overview ever released of Australians’ usage of, and demand for, digital technology.

How is the Digital Atlas compiled?
The Australian Digital Atlas 2009 uses a combination of ABS census data and detailed information from Connection Research’s Connected Home reports, which survey

Australian households’ usage of digital technology. The survey data is overlaid on the census data, with appropriate weightings given to such factors as household income, household type (single person, family with children, etc.), home ownership (rented, being paid off, owned) and dwelling type.
 
 ... Did you know ...
  • Tasmania has the highest penetration of digital TV of any state, just ahead of the ACT but behind pockets of Brisbane and the northern suburbs of Sydney.
  • Adelaide has the
    lowest usage rate of any major city
     
  • PC ownership is generally higher in the bush than in the cities, though cities have a higher proportion of laptops (especially Sydney). Many more laptops than desktops were purchased last year, and most PC-using households now have more than one machine
  • More than 90% of Australian homes now have at least one digital camera, and more than one third have a digital camcorder. Camera usage is universal, and camcorders are more likely to be owned in wealthier and in migrant
    households

This level of analysis is available for each of Australia’s 65 Statistical Regions, for 13 different digital technologies.
