Xylophones
Xylophone charts:
• Show a comparison between Local Government Areas (LGA) and the
state average for a given variable/topic
• Show the relative position of each LGA in a ranking for each variable
• Highlight LGAs of a given characteristic or geography in the chart and
with an accompanying map
• Provide a spatial vision of Census data without complex/detailed maps
How they work:
• Zero on the Y axis is equivalent to the state average for each variable
• Columns in chart therefore show how far above/below that state average
each LGA falls
• Highlighted columns show the distribution for each group of LGAs
