Using the data in the research article (which was originally complied in SEIFA) I have developed mappings which show the suburbs which are considered to be generally deprived.
These maps illustrate that the most deprived areas are Acton and Charnwood which are both located North of Lake Burley Griffin. Acton is covered mostly by the Australian National University which may explain is low rating. Charnwood is located in the Belconnen district, and was designed using the Radburn town planning principle (houses face a common parkland) which failed due to residents building fences
There is also high density of the band 3 deprivation in the southern district of Tuggeranong. It is the second largest district outside of Canberra, and is considered a 'growth area' in terms of its new facilities such as the large Tuggeranong Shopping Centre, Arts Centre and the Town Centre.
I will use this information to develop a possible route from the Northern Districts, to the Southern Districts... of course, keeping in mind the existing infrastructure in each area.
