Notes on the Data & Methodology

  1. 1. Data is from Jan - Dec 2013. Maps colour coded by the crime with the greatest rate of incidents per 100,000 people in each LGA (Local Government Area). Have combined 'Robbery' & 'Steal from person' from the original data into the single category 'Theft'. Full definitions of crimes at bocsar.nsw.gov.au. Population data from healthstats.nsw.gov.au
  2. 2. Orignal data has 'na' to denote the number of incidents was between 1-4 so have treated this as 2.
  3. 3. Data only refers to reported incidents. Studies suggest that in the case of Domestic Violence, less than 50% of incidents are reported (PDF, 81KB).
  4. 4. Based on median weekly household income. Data via ABS QuickStats
  5. Designed & built by The People's Republic of Couch
