| Age |
Respondent’s age in years, selected from 11 categories. |
| Gender |
Gender, for analysis purposes male = 0, female = 1. |
| Income |
Personal income selected from categories defined based on the income question provided in the Australian census (categories included weekly income of: nil or negative; $1-$199; $200-$299; $300-$399; $400-$599; $600-$799; $800-$999; $1000-$1249; $1250-$1499; $1500-$1999; $2000+). For analysis purposes the lowest value of the income bracket indicated by respondent was used, and variable was treated as numeric ordinal. |
| Neighborhood disadvantage |
The Index of Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD), a census derived indicator provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics was used. Variable is continuous (between 650–1150 in this sample), with low scores indicating greater deprivation. The neighborhood value for each respondent’s address was used at the finest available spatial scale (Australian Census Statistical Area 1). |
| Children living at home |
The presence or absence of people living in a respondent’s home who were under 16 years at the time of the survey. |
| Work days per week |
Number of days the respondent works in an average week. |
| Highest qualification |
The highest formal educational qualification achieved by the respondent, grouped into five categories (5 = highest qualification possible, e.g. post-graduate qualification; 1 = lowest qualification possible, e.g. year 10 of school). |
| Language (non-English = 1) |
An indication of the language primarily spoken at home. For analysis purposes 0 = English, 1 = not English. |
| Frequency of physical activity |
Number of days the respondent carried out physical activity for 30 minutes or more. |
| BMI |
Respondent’s Body Mass Index (BMI), weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. |
| Social cohesion |
Score to indicate perceptions of social cohesion derived from three questions, described in detail in the Supplementary Material. |
| Green space visitation frequency |
Ordinal variable indicating the self-reported frequency of visits to public green spaces selected from categories, including: never; once a year; once every three months; once a month; 2–3 times a month; once or more per week. Ordered numeric variable. |
| Green space visitation duration |
Average time spent during each visit to public green spaces reported for the survey week. Ordered numeric variable. |
| Green space visitation intensity |
The ‘volume’ of vegetation within the most heavily vegetated green space visited by each respondent. The variable was calculated by estimating average vegetation volume from five structural layers across the entire green space. Green spaces with the most structurally complex vegetation across large areas score highest. Continuous variable. |
