17 Digital access is an important indicator of socioeconomic development but it varies considerable across age and economic backgrounds.
18
19 In DivAirCity we base this index on the **Australian Digital Inclusion Index, **(ADII), which has been developed recently enough to be relevant compared to historic studies which focus on computer ownership and ignore technological shifts such as tablets and smart phones. The index can be found here: [[The ADII - Australian Digital Inclusion Index>>url:https://www.digitalinclusionindex.org.au/the-adii/]]
20
21 The ADII has three main components scored out of 100: **Access, affordability, **and **digital ability. ** Each of these are made up of several components sourced from questionnaire data.
