Residents on Sydney's upper north shore are the most advantaged in the country, according to new census data released on Tuesday.

The Ku-ring-gai local government area took out the top spot in the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas, which ranks places by relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage.

The data, which combines figures on income, education, employment housing and other variables, saw Ku-ring-gai followed by harbourside Mosman, Woollahra in the city's eastern suburbs and Cottesloe in Perth​

All 10 of the most advantaged local government areas (LGAs) were in Sydney's northern or eastern suburbs, or coastal Perth.

By comparison, the top 10 most disadvantaged areas were all found in either regional or remote Queensland or the Northern Territory.

The most disadvantaged LGA was Cherbourg, about 250 kilometres north-west of Brisbane, followed by West Daly, more than 300 kilometres south-west of Darwin.

But disadvantage isn't just limited to regional areas, with cities being increasingly divided into pockets of the haves and have nots, according to Brendan Coates, a fellow at public policy think tank the Grattan Institute.

"People in our major cities, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, generally have higher incomes and higher levels of advantage than regional and rural areas," said Mr Coates.

"[But] in Sydney for instance, you've got the north shore, which is particularly advantaged along with other inner areas... then you head out to areas like Cabramatta, and the areas are in the most disadvantaged 10 per cent of Australia."

Fairfield council, in which Cabramatta lies, is among the 10 most disadvantaged LGAs in NSW. Greater Dandenong and Brimbank in Melbourne, are among Victoria's most disadvantaged regions.

"In Melbourne, inner areas and the inner south east are very advantaged, whereas outer suburban areas particularly to the north and west remain relatively less advantaged," Mr Coates said.

He noted the spatial concentration of disadvantage in cities was concerning, particularly if house prices continued to grow.

Canberra mapped: census data reveals most advantaged and disadvantaged areas

Duntroon is Canberra's most advantaged socioeconomic area, and Charnwood is among the most disadvantaged, 2016 census data shows.

The data, released on Tuesday, also showed that, in the ACT region, Tumut, Braidwood and Queanbeyan's Karabar had scores in the lowest 10. ****

Canberra's most affluent suburbs are across the north and south, with Barton, Forrest, Crace, Fadden and Weetangera all in the top 10.

**** These are country towns in New South Wales!

Charnwood has always had a bad name but I don't think it is worse than any other suburb in Canberra. Housing there isn't any cheaper than anywhere else in Canberra and I don't think it is full of Government housing full of muslims, indians or bogans on the dole.
