CSP contains categories that represent the key elements of household expenditure. The scope of categories provided in CSP is informed, primarily, by data available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Household Expenditure Survey. The resulting output covers hundreds of unique headings of household goods and services. It is this hierarchy on which the CSP category framework is based. The full set of categories for which CSP estimates are produced is listed in the consumer_spend_potential_aus_data_schema.xlsx workbook, included in the product delivery file.
CSP provides total and per capita expenditure information for just over 95% of SA1s in Australia. Atypical SA1s with sparse populations are excluded.
