The 2012 CURFs contain unit records relating to almost all of the survey respondents. Subject to the limitations of sample size, the data classifications used, and the conditions of use, it is possible to interrogate the data, produce tabulations and undertake statistical analyses to individual specifications. The HEC 2012 Basic and Expanded CURFs contain 5 separate record level files which are described, along with information about record level identifiers, in the File Structure section. There are also weights on records at each level of the file to enable the production of estimates for the whole population.Ī complete list of the data items available on each record level for the CURFs is available from the Data downloads section. There are several identifiers on records at each level of the file. Levels four and five have a hierarchical relationship with the household level. The first three levels are in a hierarchical relationship: a person is a member of an income unit, which is a member of a household. Longitudinal level – contains items on household energy expenditure, consumption and behaviours that were collected during each follow-up period of the longitudinal component.Loans level – contains information about the characteristics of each loan, such as the main purpose, security, amount borrowed, principal outstanding and weekly repayment.Person records exist only for persons aged 15 and over.
Person level – contains information about age, sex, marital status, relationship in household, country of birth, year of arrival in Australia, family type, income unit type, labour force details, occupation and industry, education status, education qualifications and education institution attending, income by detailed source of income, barriers to labour force participation due to child care related reasons, and some information on personal assets.Income unit level – contains information such as income by broad level source of income, weekly rent payments, income unit type, selected housing characteristics (including tenure type and landlord type), child care use and costs, and demographic information.Household level – contains information such as state or territory and area (capital city/balance of state) of residence, housing characteristics (including tenure and housing costs), dwelling characteristics, perceptions of energy use, energy sources, expenditure and consumption, household type and composition, household income by broad level source of income, household wealth, imputed rent, demographic information, and some information relating to the household reference person.For consenting households this includes average historical electricity supply information for each quarter in 20.Įach of the HEC 2012 Basic and Expanded CURFs contain the following record levels: Some households provided a National Meter Identifier which could then be matched to data from the Business Survey of Residential Electricity Distribution (BSRED), Experimental Estimates. Participating households where ask to complete a web-based questionnaire on their household's recent energy usage, costs and behaviours. Households where asked to volunteer for follow up questions approximately every three months following the household interview. These questions were continued for the remainder of 2012 on an additional sample. Households were asked for the same information collected in the SIH, as well as supplementary energy-related questions. Between January 2012 and June 2012, HECS was collected from households who participated in the second half of the 2011-12 Survey of Income and Housing (SIH). The HECS collected information from a sample of 11,978 households over the period January 2012 to December 2012.
Information is presented across key items of interest and also features longitudinal analysis on household energy efficient improvements. The Household Energy Consumption Survey (HECS) collected information on household energy expenditure, consumption, behaviours, perceptions and other characteristics related to household energy use.
