Area indicators

Figures about places, not people.

Crime, safety, education and population data for states and districts, pulled from the Open Government Data platform. These describe a geography, never a politician. There is no join in this database from a crime figure to a representative, and the API refuses to return one.

Why that matters. A constituency with a high reported crime figure is not evidence about the person who represents it. Reported crime measures reporting as much as incidence: a state with better policing and more willing complainants can look worse than one where offences go unrecorded.

Defined but not yet loaded

29 series

These series are defined in the schema with their unit, direction and caveat, so the interface is ready for them. They are empty because the source resource has not been imported yet, not because the figure is zero. District and city level figures in particular are published unevenly by year, and where only a state figure exists this database stores only a state figure.

How these figures reach a constituency page

A constituency is not a district. Most parliamentary seats span several districts and most districts contain several assembly seats. Where a district figure is shown on a constituency page, the districts it covers are named and the overlap is stated. Where only a state figure exists, the page says state rather than dividing a state number across districts.

Every rate on this site uses a 2011 Census denominator, because the 2021 Census has not been conducted. Rates for fast-growing districts are therefore overstated, and that is a limit of the source, not a choice made here.
