Blacktown City
Sexes - Individual income

Individual income is a measure of the income a person receives from all sources.
Typically, male incomes are higher than female incomes. This conflates a number of factors and this topic should not be taken on its own to represent a measure of the "gender pay gap". Individual income for females often shows a high rate of "Nil Income", likely to be due to the rate of single-income families where the male is the main earner. This may differ from area to area, particularly with the prevalence of dual-income families increasing in many areas. Parts of income differences between the sexes may also be explained by comparing incomes to Hours Worked and Occupations. A gender pay gap may be apparent after accounting for these factors, but that is beyond the scope of analysis which can be done in profile.id.
Derived from the Census question:
