The Socio Economic Indexes for Areas is a suite of four indexes that have been created from social and economic Census information, ranking geographic areas across Australia in terms of their relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. It takes into account people's access to material and social resources, and their ability to participate in society.

It looks at statistical areas, which can contain more than one suburb. Large suburbs can also be split into multiple areas.
The rankings compare relative levels of advantage in the ACT, not to the rest of the nation. The lower the score, and rank, the higher the level of disadvantage and vice versa. A particular rank does not mean everyone in that suburb has the same level of advantage.
