Pinned version 2026-06-12: `https://publicdata.au/d/au-taxable-income-by-postcode-2023-24/v/2026-06-12/data.<format>`. Dated versions never change.

## Query

The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-taxable-income-by-postcode-2023-24/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-taxable-income-by-postcode-2023-24/aggregate.

- Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-taxable-income-by-postcode-2023-24/rows?limit=5
- Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-taxable-income-by-postcode-2023-24/aggregate?group=postcode&metric=max.median_taxable_income_or_loss_aud

Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`.

- `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent.
- `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent.
- `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent.
- `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you.
- `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated.
- `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent.
- `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers.

Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions/<date>/` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets/<slug>/versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

### What years does Taxable income, salary, rent, tax and super by postcode, Australia cover?

The current version covers the years since 2023. Each release from ATO becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online.

### How often is Taxable income, salary, rent, tax and super by postcode, Australia updated?

ATO releases it yearly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes.

### Can I use Taxable income, salary, rent, tax and super by postcode, Australia commercially?

Yes. CC BY 2.5 AU allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file.

### Is this the official source for Taxable income, salary, rent, tax and super by postcode, Australia?

No. The publisher is Australian Taxation Office, and its page is https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/taxation-statistics-2023-24. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xlsx with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared.

### What is in each row?

One postcode, with the number of individuals who lodged a tax return for the 2023-24 income year and, for each of taxable income, salary and wages, net rent, total income, deductions, business income and expenses, net tax and super balances, the count of individuals with the item and its average and median in dollars. Some items also give the share of individuals with the item, as a fraction.

### Which individuals are counted?

Counts, averages and medians for taxable income, total income and deductions use every individual, including zeroes. Net rent counts everyone who reported at the label. The other items count only individuals with a value other than zero. The figures come from 2024 returns processed by 31 October 2025 and are not necessarily complete.

### Where are the other years?

The ATO publishes each income year as its own release with its own columns, so each year is its own table.

## What this site did to the data

Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.xlsx`.
