РУСФОРУМ АВСТРАЛИЯ

AUSTRALIA IN STATISTICS




1. If Australia were a city, at 23.5 million it would still only be the world’s seventh largest (after Tokyo, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Jakarta, Seoul and Delhi).


2. Western Australia grows by more people every 48 hours than Tasmania adds every year (500 people).


3. Only 1 in 10 Australians uses public transport to get to work and more people walk to work than catch a bus.


4. The average street of 100 households has 10 babies (aged under 3), 27 cats and 45 dogs.


5. The average Australian stays with their employer just 3 years and 4 months – only a third of the way towards long service leave. If this plays out in the lifetime of a school leaver today it means they will have 17 separate employers in their lifetime.


6. What’s called a boonie in Western Australian, is called a westie in NSW and in Queensland it’s a bogan.


7. Sydney makes for a fascinating study in populations by gender, with Pyrmont having 3.6 per cent more males than females whereas the next suburb over the Anzac bridge, Balmain, has 8.7 per cent more females than males.

8. Victoria is the state with the highest ratio of females to males (98 males to every 100 females), with 58,399 more women than men.


9. The number of Australians identifying their religion as Christianity is eight times larger than all other religions combined.


10. One in 10 households has a net worth exceeding $1.6 million, and one per cent of households have wealth above $5 million.


11. In Australia there are almost 100,000 more women than men, with six out of our eight states and territories experiencing a man drought.


12. While approximately one in five (22%) Australians are Baby Boomers, they own over 50% of the nation’s private wealth.


13. Three decades ago the median age of an Australian was 30.5, today it is 37.3 and in 2044 it is projected to be 40.


14. Life expectancy at birth three decades ago was 76, today it is 82 and in 2044, it is projected to be more than 90.


15. The average Australian spends 10 hours and 19 minutes each day on screen time – and due to ‘multi-screening’ this is achieved in just under eight hours of linear time.

screen time - time spent using a device such as a computer, television, or games console.

Linear time - In Newtonain theory it is something absolute in reality, regardless of human perception.

Тогда врут. Не может столько время набраться… даже в среднем.

Повезло же людям родиться в свое время. Судя по цифрам, они в среднем владеют вдвое бОльшим имуществом, чем остальные.

Учитывается скорее всего и компьютер, и ТВ, и телефон. Средний офисный работник проводит 8 часов у компьютера на работе и часа два дома и у ТВ, вполне ожидаемо по моему.

16. By the time generation Z (five-19-year-olds) begin to retire (beginning in 2063) the average median capital city house price will exceed $2 million and the average retiree will need $600,000 more than today for a comfortable retirement.

17. If you lived on an average sized street in Australia comprised of 100 households, on that street there would be a marriage every 9 months, a death every 7 months and a birth every 14 weeks.

18. The year the queen came to the throne (1952), just 40 Australians turned 100. Last year, more than 2600 Australians turned 100.

19. Currently there are almost 105 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls born in Australia

20. On average, women in Australia outlive men by four years.

21. The most widely said Australianisms are “no worries” (74 per cent of Australians have used this phrase), “arvo” (73 per cent), and “G’day” (71 per cent).

22. Less than half of Australians use rhyming slang such as “Joe Blake” (snake) – 44 per cent, “Captain Cook” (look) – 28 per cent, and “Frog and Toad” (road) – 25 per cent.

23. Swimming costumes in Queensland are known as togs, in NSW cossies, but in Victoria, bathers. And while Victorians use the word cantaloupe, in the rest of the country the fruit is known as rockmelon.

24. Australia is currently growing by 1 million every 2 years – that’s an additional Adelaide every 2.5 years.
