BITRE | Report 115Table 6.5 Distribution <strong>of</strong> UC/Ls, by airport size, 2005Access to:Distribution <strong>of</strong>UC/LsLarge airports Medium airports Small airports Rural airports No airports TotalNumber <strong>of</strong> UC/Ls 992 272 45 68 332 1709Percentage 58.05 15.92 2.63 3.98 19.43 100.00Source:BITRE time series estimates.Figure 6.3 shows that approximately 90 per cent <strong>of</strong> all population in UC/Ls (distributedacross 58 per cent <strong>of</strong> all UC/Ls) were within the assumed access distance to at leastone large airport. Around 6.8 per cent <strong>of</strong> all population in UC/Ls distributed across22.53 per cent <strong>of</strong> all UC/Ls were within the assumed access distance to a medium,small or rural airport. In the analysis <strong>of</strong> population distribution earlier, we found thathalf a million people or 3 per cent <strong>of</strong> the population in UC/Ls were located beyondthe assumed access distance to any airport. Figure 6.3 shows that the number <strong>of</strong> UC/Lsinvolved amounted to about a fifth <strong>of</strong> the total number <strong>of</strong> UC/Ls.Figure 6.3 Comparison by percentage between the population in UC/Ls <strong>and</strong>the total number <strong>of</strong> UC/Ls by airport size, 20051009090.148070Percentage60504058.0530201004.7215.920.82 2.63 1.27Large airports Medium airports Small airports Rural airports No airportsPercentage <strong>of</strong> population in UC/LsPercentage <strong>of</strong> the total number <strong>of</strong> UC/Ls3.98 3.0519.43Source:BITRE time series estimates.Table 6.6 shows a further breakdown <strong>of</strong> the distribution <strong>of</strong> UC/Ls by population size.Again, the result illustrates the remote <strong>and</strong> sparse nature <strong>of</strong> geographical settlementin Australia.As discussed in relation to Figure 6.2, a total <strong>of</strong> 1285 UC/Ls or 75 per cent <strong>of</strong> all UC/Lsin 2005 had a population <strong>of</strong> less than 2000 people. Of these, 1006 UC/Ls were withinthe assumed access distance to at least one airport (Table 6.6). Of these 1006 UC/Ls,727 UC/Ls were within the assumed access distance to one large airport.
