1. Local Government Area (LGA): A LGA is a geographical area under the responsibility of an incorporated local government council. The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) does have data down to the suburb level, but i couldn't be arsed getting it.

2. Drug shown for the suburb is based on the drug with the greatest number of incidents for the LGA in which the suburb falls. This refers to where the incident took place, not where the alleged offender lived (hence the large numbers for the city of Sydney)

3. Median weekly household income. Data via ABS QuickStats

Crime Data provided by BOCSAR. Probably not what they had in mind though. Remember, drugs are bad, kids.
