It classifies the income groups into four sections i.e. Low, Lower Middle, Middle and High. Overall, both cities and regional centres comprise of a majority of people from the lower middle and middle classification. Whereas, people belonging to the Low and High income categories account for a lower percentage of population in both these regions.

The Middle and Lower Middle income group represent 35% and 30% of the population in cities, which means they have a yearly income of $40,000 - $70,000 and $70,000 - $120,000. However, the lower middle income earners represent 34% of the population and the middle income earners represent 27% of the population in regional centres.

On the other hand, the High and Low categories of income groups constitutes 20% and 13% of general public in cities. Whereas, regional centres showcase an increase of 10% of people belonging to the low income category, which means there are more number of people in the low income category in regional areas as compared to cities.
