The state-by-state results in the Australian House of Representatives at the 2019 federal election are: Coalition 77, Labor 68, Australian Greens 1, Centre Alliance 1, Katter's Australian Party 1, and Independents 3. Demographic Trends. There was some correlation between certain demographic characteristics of electorates (garnered from the 2016 Australian Census), and the propensity of electorates to place a particular party as the first preference in the House of Representatives ballot. This does not necessary note a causal relationship, rather similarities between electorate demographics and voting outcomes. Age . Using the proportion of persons aged between 65 and 79 years as an indicator of age, there was moderate correlation (0.393) between the proportion of aged persons in an electorate and the likelihood of placing a coalition party as the first preference. Electorates with a higher proportion of persons aged 18 to 34 were strongly correlated to vote for the Greens (0.700) or to a lesser extent, the Australian Labor Party (0.362). Education. Using the proportion of adults aged between 20 and 24 who had completed 12 years of education as an indicator of education, there was moderate correlation (0.600 ) between education achievement in an electorate and the likelihood of placing the Greens as the first preference. There was moderate but weaker inverse correlation (-0.326) between education and placing Pauline Hanson's One Nation as first preference. Household composition. Electorates with a high proportion of households consisting of a couple and children had a moderate correlation (0.357) to vote for the Australian Labor Party. Language. Electorates with a high proportion of people who used languages other than English at home were moderately correlated with voting Labor (0.550). Household income. There was moderate correlation between median household income and preferencing (0.358 ) the Greens. Occupation. Electorates with a higher proportion of self-described 'professionals' had a strong correlation (0.693) to placing the Greens as first preference. Electorates with a higher proportion of self-described 'managers' had a moderate correlation (0.508) to placing the Coalition as first preference. Electorates with a higher proportion of self-described 'machinery operators and drivers' had a moderate correlation of placing One Nation (0.490) or United Australia Party (0.438) as first preference. Electorates with a higher proportion of self-described 'labourers' had a strong correlation with voting for the United Australia Party (0.605), and a moderate correlation of  voting for One Nation (0.380). Home ownership. Home ownership was the one fact that led to greatest variation between Labor and Coalition voting electorates. There was moderate correlation between electorates which more strongly supported the coalition and which had higher rates of home ownership (0.418). In contrast, there was moderate negative correlation between supporting Labor and not being a homeowner (-0.374).
