“…Collectively the urban portions of these 21 cities account for approximately 75% of Australia's population 7 . The resulting 14 datasets (Table 1) comprise a rich census of policy-relevant, health-related built environment measures and have already supported a broad range of outputs that enable policymakers and researchers to monitor local neighbourhood liveability, and research studies evaluating the extent to which built environment features are associated with the health and wellbeing of diverse cohorts including children, adults, older adults and people living with disability 8 .…”

Measuring and monitoring the spatial distribution of liveability is crucial to ensure that implemented urban and transport planning decisions support health and wellbeing. Spatial liveability indicators can be used to ensure these decisions are effective, equitable and tracked across time. The 2018 Australian National Liveability Study datasets comprise a suite of policy-relevant health-related spatial indicators of local neighbourhood liveability and amenity access estimated for residential address points and administrative areas across Australia’s 21 most populous cities. The indicators and measures encompass access to community and health services, social infrastructure, employment, food, housing, public open space, transportation, walkability and overall liveability. This national ’baseline’ liveability indicators dataset for residential address points and areas can be further linked with surveys containing geocoded participant locations, as well as Census data for areas from the Australian Statistical Geography Standard. The datasets will be of interest to planners, policy makers and researchers interested in modelling and mapping the spatial distribution of urban environmental exposures and their relationship with health and other outcomes.
