Points and states
Australia Map — the pool state by state
The same nominated-state data as State Mix, laid out geographically and with a month scrubber. Where State Mix is built for share, the map is built for absolute size and for watching the picture change over time.
What this view measures
Each jurisdiction is shaded by its EOI count in the selected month, subclass and status. The scrubber moves through the published months so you can watch the distribution change.
Reading the chart
Population dominates the map. New South Wales and Victoria will usually be darkest simply because more people are there and more EOIs name them, which is geography rather than opportunity.
The interesting reading is change over the scrubber: a jurisdiction darkening while others hold steady is the shift worth investigating.
What the figure represents
Absolute size tells you where the competition sits. Turn to State Mix when you want the same information as proportions, and to State Strategy when you want it against invitation activity.
In the dashboard
Set the visa to 190 or 491 first. On 189 the map has almost nothing to shade, because those EOIs carry no jurisdiction.
The map is behind sign in. Occupation Trends on 190 is open in the guest trial.
The Australia Map is behind sign in. Occupation Trends for 189 and 190 plus five occupations is open in the guest trial.
For applicants
A good orientation view and a poor decision view. Use it to see where EOIs have gathered, then take nomination questions to the relevant state program.
For migration professionals
Effective in presentations because it is immediately legible. Say what the colour means before the first question arrives, or it will be read as a nomination heat map.
Limits of this view
No points dimension, no invitation dimension, no program information, and nothing meaningful on 189.
Common questions
Does a dark state mean it nominates more people?
No. It means more EOIs named that jurisdiction. Nomination volumes are published by the states themselves.
