Note to reader

Findings on the socio-economic characteristics of any population are affected by its demographic composition. The age distribution in particular is a key factor affecting such indicators. As the Aboriginal population is much younger than the non-Aboriginal population, readers are cautioned that the analysis of differences in results for the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations has not been age standardized to remove the effect of age differences.
