Allocate scarce resources to where they are most needed

In a time of demographic disruption, Council resources are being stretched ever thinner. Understanding the need for services – the demographic make up of a place – at the truly local level is essential for allocating council and community services.
  
atlas.id supports service allocation decisions by presenting a range of demographic data at a truly local level (SA1). Its functionality includes catchment-area analysis and is designed to help identify otherwise hidden groups with specific needs.
We work with councils around Australia
