Definition: | Australian Statistical Geography Standard—Remoteness Area (ASGS-RA) is a geographical classification which defines locations in terms of relative remoteness, i.e. the road distance of a location from the nearest Urban Centre and Locality. |
Context: | Geographic remoteness is essentially a measure of a location's level of access to services. Larger population centres tend to have a greater level of service provision than small centres. Typically, a population centre is not likely to provide a full range of services until its population reaches around 250,000 people. Information in relation to the definition and calculation of remoteness is available from the Geography portal on the ABS website. Information in relation to how ARIA+ scores are calculated for populated localities is available from the Hugo Centre for Migration and Population Research website. |
