This study by researchers from Griffith University compares 2001 and 2006 census data to identify areas of high and low vulnerability to oil and housing prices in major capital cities. The index is then mapped using a GIS. Its a relatively simple calculation of car ownership, journey to work, mortgages and income, so does not include secondary impacts such as cost of living more generally, but the maps are interesting none the less.
