The Australian Bureau of Statistics is a fantastic resources for the older primary grades who wish to view relevant data on their own area. The ABS website has the 'data by region' function that allows us to zoom in on a specific area.

It could be used to compare the number of households across a few regions. This could then be sorted into a table or made into a graph for the purpose of analysis. I love using https://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/
with my kids because it is so easy to use and produces high quality digital graphs in a variety of formats.

Statistical data is excellent for use in the data strand of maths.
