These are ABS modelled estimates for a statistical area, not measurements of every resident.
Not shown for this area: children classified as overweight and children classified as obese. The ABS flags these estimates as too unreliable for general use, or too few people are in scope.
Fewer than 500 adults are in scope for this area, so its estimates carry more uncertainty than most.
