Community Profiles is an interactive data visualisation tool that showcases the data curated within the Breaking Down Barriers Shared Data Environment, intended to inform economic and social policy to eliminate poverty and disadvantage in Australia. A Community Profile provides users a view of the communities in a region, their demographic characteristics and how they compare to each other, the state, and the nation. Community Profiles also provide a view of trends in socio-economic characteristics since 2006.

For example, these are the profiles for Gold Coast SA3s:
