Introduction This population profile incorporates the preexisting Caulfield Community Health Service (CCHS) Data Books and a selection of data updates and new material. The year in which the data was collected has been included in the description of each source. It should be noted that the year of collection may not necessarily correlate to the year of release (as data is often released to the public well after the collection date). The data included in this profile is produced from a variety of sources which are updated/collected at differing times. All updated data includes a full reference and where possible a hyperlink to the data source. Data and information included in the profile which does not include this full referencing has been sourced from previous versions of the CCHS data book and more recent updates have been unable to be located. Where possible all data included in the community profile from the Australian Bureau of Statistic, 2011 Census refers to ‘usual place of residence’. This is a count of people based on the area in which they usually live (as determined by the address provided by the respondent as to the address of their usual residence). Data referring to households and some other data are counted using ‘enumerated’ data only. This data counts people on where they were located on the night of the census and which may or may not be the place which they usually live. This data therefore gives a snapshot of the location on the night of the census and may not accurately reflect the people eligible for CCHS services. All data provided in the community profile states if the data is enumerated or based on usual place of residence.

HOUSING AND HOUSEHOLDS Tenure type Derived from the Census questions, ‘Is this dwelling [owned outright, owned with a mortgage etc]’, and ‘If this dwelling is being rented, who is it rented from?’ Tenure data, to some extent, provide insights into the socioeconomic status of an area as well as the role that the area plays in the housing market.

Occupancy rates The size of households in general follows the lifecycle of families. Households are usually small at the stage of relationship formation (early marriage), and then increase in size with the advent of children. They later reduce in size again as these children reach adulthood and leave home. However, household size can also be influenced by a lack, (or abundance) of affordable housing. Further, overseas migrants and Indigenous persons often have a tradition of living with extended family members and/or other families. Occupancy rates: City of Stonnington

EDUCATION The Year of Schooling data is a useful indicator of socioeconomic status of an area. With other indicators, such as proficiency in English, the data informs planners and decisionmakers as to people's ability to access services. Combined with educational qualifications it also allows assessment of the skill base of the population. Educational qualifications are one of the most important indicators of socioeconomic status. With other data sources, such as income and occupation, educational qualifications help to evaluate the economic opportunities and socioeconomic status of an area.

Disengaged youth (not in education or employment) The activities of young people who have left school have been sourced from customised 2006 Census tables obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (please note 2011 census data was not yet available). These data describe the level of engagement in work and study activities of 15–19 yearolds who are not attending school. This population can be categorised into three major groups: fully engaged school leavers are defined as those who are involved in work and/or nonschool study (including university, TAFE and vocational training) on a fulltime basis; disengaged school leavers are defined as those who are not involved in any work or study activities at all; and the remaining school leavers are defined as partly engaged. The percentage of fully engaged and disengaged school leavers are presented below.

The labour force participation rate refers to the proportion of the population over 15 years of age that was employed or actively looking for work. ‘The labour force is a fundamental input to domestic production. Its size and composition are therefore crucial factors in economic growth. From the viewpoint of social development, earnings from paid work are a major influence on levels of economic wellbeing.’ (Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian Social Trends 1995). Analysis of the labour force participation rate of the population in the CoGE in 2011 shows that there was a slightly higher proportion in the labour force (64.5 per cent) compared with the MSD (62.5 per cent). Between 2006 and 2011 in the City of Glen Eira the number of people in the labour force showed an increase of 6,294 persons, or 10.0%. Occupation The occupation data identifies the occupations in which the residents of an area work (this may be within the residing area or elsewhere). The occupational structure of the work force is an important indicator of the characteristics of the labour force. With other indicators, such as educational qualifications and income, occupation is a key component of evaluating the socioeconomic status and skill base of an area.

Household income Derived from the census question, ‘What is the total of all wages/salaries, government benefits, pensions, allowances and other income the person usually receives?’ This is the gross amount and relates only to persons aged 15 years or more. Household income is one of the most important indicators of socioeconomic status. With other data sources, such as Educational Qualifications and Occupation, it helps to evaluate the economic opportunities and socio economic status of an area.

Children and adults with a disability The following data is based on analysis of a specially commissioned data cube of Victorian data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), 'Disability, Ageing and Carers' (Cat: 4430.0) and the 'Victoria in Future' (VIF) 2004, population and household projections for the period 2001–2051 published by the Department of Sustainability and the Environment (DSE). Other sources of disability data analysis include the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. Totals derived by applying the ABS 2003 disability rates (profound and severe) by age group for Victoria to the DSE population estimates for 30 June 2006. The LGA estimates are intended as a guide only. The ABS disability rates used are statistically reliable at a statewideVictorian level but not at a local/LGA level. The VIF LGA estimates also carry various caveats with regard to data accuracy. The ABS disability rates used are: 0–4 (3.1 per cent); 5–14 (4.7 per cent); 15–24 (2.3 per cent); 25–34 (2.3 per cent); 35–44 (3.7 per cent); 45–54 (5.5 per cent); 55–64 (6.4 per cent). Some totals may not add exactly due to rounding to whole numbers based on decimal percentages used. In most age cohorts the CoS has average or below average numbers of children and adults with a disability while CoGE has slightly above average numbers.

COMMUNITY WELLBEING VicHealth Indicators Survey The VicHealth Indicators Survey is a Victorian community wellbeing survey which focuses on the social determinants of health. The survey is based on core questions related to individual and community health and wellbeing, critical to inform decisions about public health priorities. The survey compliments other Victorian population health surveys such as the Victorian Government’s Victorian Population Health Survey (VPHS) and when combined, these two data sets enable local government planners to gain a comprehensive picture of health and wellbeing in Victoria. The chart below shows how the indicators of health and wellbeing for the Cities of Stonnington and Glen Eira compare to the Victorian average. Crude rates, also known as nonstandardised rates, have been presented here to help inform localised planning. Crude rates are not appropriate for comparison between LGA’s, as estimates have not been agestandardised and therefore differences may be due, at least in part, to differing age profiles. Values are percentages unless stated otherwise.

CIV is the extension of the Victorian Community Indicators Project which ran from January 2005 until July 2006. CIV is guided by a framework of community wellbeing and includes indicators on social, economic, environmental, cultural and democratic domains. The indicators included in CIV have been compiled from a range of sources. The indicators provided below are ones which differ from those presented in the above VicHealth Indicators Survey or are not available in the LGA summary tables provided by VicHealth.

The ABS broadly defines socioeconomic advantage and disadvantage in terms of people’s access to materials and social resources and their ability to participate in society. The Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD), one of the four SEIFA indexes, was calculated using measures of disadvantage collected in the 2011 Census of Population and Housing (see for details). Mapping the IRSD provides a smallarea picture of where comparatively disadvantaged and less disadvantaged places are located. The ABS Technical Paper – Socio Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) 2011 provides the following notes: A SEIFA score is created using information about people and households in a particular area. This score is standardised against a mean of 1000 with a standard deviation of 100. This means that the average SEIFA score will be 1000 and the middle twothirds of SEIFA scores will fall between 900 and 1100 (approximately). (Refer to the Glossary for more on standardisation). To determine the SEIFA rank , all the areas are ordered from lowest score to highest score. The area with the lowest score is given a rank of 1 (representing the most disadvantaged area), the area with the secondlowest score is given a rank of two and so on, up to the area with the highest score which is given the highest rank. Deciles divide a distribution into ten equal groups. In the case of SEIFA, the distribution of scores is divided into ten equal groups. The lowest scoring 10 per cent of areas are given a decile number of 1, the secondlowest 10 per cent of areas are given a decile number of two and so on, up to the highest 10 per cent of areas which are given a decile number of 10. Percentiles divide a distribution into 100 equal groups. In the case of SEIFA, the distribution of scores is divided into 100 equal groups. The lowest scoring one per cent of areas are given a percentile number of 1, the second lowest one per cent of areas are given a percentile number of two and so on, up to the highest one per cent of areas which are given a percentile number of 100. SEIFA percentiles are provided to allow users to create their own groupings, such as quartiles.

The top and bottom 3 IRDS indexes in the City of Stonnington small areas and benchmark areas which fall within the CCHS catchment include: • Kooyong had the highest index of 1128.8 followed Malvern (South) with 1118.0 and Malvern with 1103.7 • The lowest index was Malvern East (Chadstone Activity Centre) with 1056.4, followed by South Ward with 1072.6 and City of Stonnington with 1083.7 Significant IRDS indexes in the City of Glen Eira small areas and benchmark areas which fall within the CCHS catchment include: • Caulfield South had the highest index of 1092.0, followed by Caulfield North – Caulfield East with 1089.9 and Elsternwick – Gardenvale with 1078.7 • The lowest index was Glen Huntley with 1046.6, followed by Carnegie with 1056.5 and Ormond with 1065.9 As can be seen from the above table, both CoGE and CoS rank among the least disadvantaged areas when taking into consideration their rank, decile and percentile scores. However, as the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s report Australia’s Health 2008 notes: • IRSD reflects the overall or average level of disadvantage of the population of an area: it does not show how individuals living in the same area differ from each other in their SES (Krieger et al. 1997). Being an average, the score is also likely to reduce the apparent differences between area groups (Glover et al. 2004a). Thus, it is important to also look at the SEIFA maps by SA1 on the following page in order to view the ‘pockets of disadvantage’ which exist within the CCHS catchment.

General population health Ambulatory care sensitive conditions Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) are those for which hospitalisation is thought to be avoidable with the application of public health interventions and early disease management, usually delivered in ambulatory setting such as primary care. High rates of hospital admissions for ACSCs may provide indirect evidence of problems with patient access to primary healthcare, inadequate skills and resources, or disconnection with specialist services 3. Notes: • Data presented is for the financial year 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012, consistent with the release of hospitalisation data in Victoria. • Age standardised rates are based on 2011 population data. • The top ten ACSCs are included for each LGA and Victoria.

Dental conditions in CoS have risen over previous years to be consistently higher that the Victorian average. There is one ACSC in the CCHS catchment above the Victorian average (based on rate per 1,000 persons). • Dental conditions in CoS, is at a rate of 3.72 per 1,000 persons (Victorian average = 2.98). This rate has fluctuated over time (2006/07 = 3.69, 2009/10 = 3.26), however has remained above the Victorian average over these time periods (2006/07 = 2.75, 2009/10 = 3.03). Previously (2009/10), Iron Deficiency Anaemia was higher than the state average in CoGE (1.77 compared to 1.68), however recent data indicates a drop below the state rate.

Avoidable mortality Avoidable mortality (AM) is a simple and practical populationbased method of counting untimely and unnecessary deaths from diseases for which effective public health and medical interventions are available. An excess of deaths due to preventable causes should suggest shortcomings in the healthcare system that warrant further attention 4. Notes: • Data presented is for the five year period 2002–2006. Five years of data has been aggregated for all analyses to reduce yeartoyear variability in deaths, and the width of confidence intervals for areas with small populations. Data are presented by calendar year (1 Jan to 31 Dec), consistent with the release of mortality data by the ABS. • Age standardised rates are based on 2006 population data. • The top ten avoidable mortalities are included for each LGA. The top 12 avoidable mortalities are provided for Victoria (as relevant comparators for CoGE and CoS).

One DALY can be thought of as one lost year of healthy life. The DALY is a socalled health gap measure. This means that the burden of disease is measured as the gap between the current health status of the population and an ideal where everyone lives into old age; free of disease or injury. The term disability is used quite broadly; in this sense; to include all departures from complete health due to disease or injury. The following data refers to data from 2001.

Chronic diseases and risk factors Modelled estimates of the prevalence of certain chronic diseases have been synthetically predicted from the 200708 National Health Survey (NHS), conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The data presented does not represent information collected in data sets, but are estimates of the expected level of health indicators which are linked to the estimated residential population of an area at the corresponding time period. This is based on selfreported data regarding diagnosis of certain conditions. Information is presented in a number of ways: • The predicted number of people with a condition • Agestandardised ratios (ASR) per 100 population, which allows for differences in age structures of the populations to be taken into consideration • Standardised ratios (SR), which allow for direct comparison with a respective standard population (Australia – SR 100). An SR of 110 in an area means the standardised ration is 10% higher in the area than expected from the Australian rates, and an SR of 85 means the ratio is 15% lower in the area than expected from the Australian rates It should be noted that only the areas of City of Stonnington – Malvern and City of Glen Eira – Caulfield are within the CCHS catchment. Other areas have been presented to allow for comparison of results.

Therefore the information could therefore be based on selfdiagnosis rather than diagnosis by a health professional. Both the CoS and the CoGE appear to have similar ratios (agestandardised and non agestandardised) of males and females with mental and behavioural problems compared to the SMR, and lower ratios compared to Victoria. It appears that females in all areas have higher ratios of mental and behaviour problems compared to males. Of those presented the area which appears to have the lowest ratio is males in the CoS – Malvern area (which is in the CCHS catchment). However this result should be interpreted with caution due to the possible prediction error/reliability.

Health and lifestyle The Victorian Population Health Survey (VPHS) is an annual statewide survey that the Department of Health undertakes to collect information on the health of the adult Victorian population (18 years or older). The 2008 VPHS was the first time that the sample size has been expanded to allow detailed analysis at the local government area level. The 2012 VPHS will also present information at the LGA level; however will not be released until late 2013. The data below represents the 2008 LGA data as well as updated regional data from 2010 (which did not go down to the LGA level).

Therefore those who met guidelines completed at least 150 minutes and 5 or more sessions per week. 2008 data at the LGA level shows: City of Stonnington: • 67.7% of males in CoS met the physical activity guidelines (similar to Victoria at 61.0% and SMR at 61.3%) • 68.7% of females in CoS met the physical activity guidelines (higher than Victoria at 59.7% and SMR at 61.5%)

City of Glen Eira: • 65.4% of males in CoGE met the physical activity guidelines (similar to Victoria at 61.0% and SMR at 61.3%) • 61.6% of females in CoGE met the physical activity guidelines (similar to Victoria at 59.7% and SMR at 61.5%) • The percentage of females in CoGE classified as being sedentary (2.0 per cent) was lower than Victorian females (5.4 per cent)

77

Key 2010 data at the regional level shows: • 64% of males and 57.7% of females in the SMR met the physical activity guidelines (similar to Victoria at 61.2% and 57.1%) Alcohol consumption The Australian Alcohol Guidelines (2001) 6 specify the risks of short and long–term alcohol–related harm by level of alcohol consumption in males and females. The guidelines identify two main patterns for harmful consumption: • excessive alcohol intake on a particular occasion; and • consistent highlevel intake over months and years. The alcohol guidelines were updated in 2009 to reflect more recent research and evidence, however the statistics below refer to the limits set in the 2001 guidelines (as these were in place at the time the study was conducted). 2008 data at the LGA level shows: City of Stonnington: • The patterns of alcohol consumption were similar between CoS and Victoria for males • 17.3% of females in CoS who consumed alcohol at least monthly at a risky or high risk level for short term harm was higher than Victorian females (10.4%) • 9.5% of females in CoS were classified as abstainers from alcohol, which was lower than Victorian females (23.0%)

Smoking status Current smokers are defined as those who smoke daily or occasionally. 2008 data at the LGA level shows: City of Stonnington: • 14.6% of males in CoS were current smokers (similar to Victoria at 21.4% and SMR at 19.0%) • 10.7% of females in CoS were current smokers (lower than Victoria at 16.9% and SMR at 17.5%)

City of Glen Eira: • 18.3% of males in CoGE were current smokers (similar to Victoria at 21.4% and SMR at 19.0%) • 11.5% of females in CoGE were current smokers (lower than Victoria at 16.9% and SMR at 17.5%)

Key 2010 data at the regional level shows: • 21.9% of males and 13.0% of females in the SMR are current smokers (similar to Victoria with 17.8% males and 15.8% females) Psychological distress Poor mental health is a significant risk factor for poor health outcomes. The Kessler 10 (K10) scale is a set of ten questions designed to categorise the level of psychological distress over a four week period. 2008 data at the LGA level shows: City of Stonnington: • 66.5% of males in CoS were classified as having a low level of psychological distress (similar to Victoria at 65.3% and SMR at 66.8%) • 69.2% of females in CoS were classified as having a low level of psychological distress (higher than Victoria at 59.7% and SMR at 62.1%)

City of Glen Eira: • 72.2% of males in CoS were classified as having a low level of psychological distress (similar to Victoria at 65.3% and SMR at 66.8%) • 59.2% of females in CoS were classified as having a low level of psychological distress (similar to Victoria at 59.7% and SMR at 62.1%) • Females in CoGE appear to have slightly higher levels of moderate or high distress levels compared to males.

Key 2010 data at the regional level shows: • 68.1% of males and 61.3% of females in the SMR experienced low levels of psychological distress (similar to Victoria with 68.9% males and 59.9% females) • 7.7% of males and 7.9% of females in the SMR experienced high levels of psychological distress (similar to Victoria with 6.9% males and 9.0% females) Self-rated health status Selfreported health status has been shown to be a reliable predictor of illhealth, future health care use and premature mortality, independent of other medical, behavioural or psychosocial risk factors 7. When asked about their health, 2008 data at the LGA level showed: • 60.1% of male adults in CoS rated their health as ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’, significantly higher than Victoria (41.4%) and the SMR (44.8%) and similar to CoGE (43.9%) • 26.2% of male adults in CoS and 34% of male adults in SMR rated their health as ‘good’, significantly less that Victoria (39.2%)

Laboratories provide the VCCR with data on all Pap tests taken in Victoria, unless a woman chooses not to participate. The VCCR provides a more accurate assessment of Pap tests (compared with the Victorian Population Health Survey) and indicates that screening rates of women aged 2069 years who have had at least one Pap smear in the past two years are lower than that reported in the 2008 VPHS. Despite this, the geographical trends are similar to the VPHS, with both CoGE and CoS having higher screening rates than the regional average. • For all reporting periods between 2007 and 2011, both the CoGE and the CoS have had significantly higher rates of screening compared to the Southern Metropolitan Region • For all reporting periods between 2007 and 2011, screening rates for CoGE, CoS and SMR have all fallen, with CoS reporting the smallest reduction of 2.8%

Access to services Modelled estimates of a range of social dimensions have been synthetically predicted from the 2010 General Social Survey (GSS) conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This survey includes a number of questions which aims to assess community strength, both in terms of its positive aspects and negative effects. The data presented does not represent information collected in data sets, but are estimates of the expected social dimensions which are linked to the estimated residential population of an area at the corresponding time period. Information is presented in a number of ways: • The predicted number of people with a condition • Agestandardised ratios (ASR) per 100 population, which allows for differences in age structures of the populations to be taken into consideration • Standardised ratios (SR), which allow for direct comparison with a respective standard population (Australia – SR 100). An SR of 110 in an area means the standardised ration is 10% higher in the area than expected from the Australian rates, and an SR of 85 means the ratio is 15% lower in the area than expected from the Australian rates It should be noted that only the areas of City of Stonnington – Malvern and City of Glen Eira – Caulfield are within the CCHS catchment. Other areas have been presented to allow for comparison of results.

Private health insurance was defined as “cover additional to that provided under Medicare, offered by private health organisations registered under the National Health Act to reimburse all or part of the cost of hospital and/or ancillary services”. Residents in Stonnington and Glen Eira appear to have much higher ratios (agestandardised and standard ratios) of private health insurance cover compared to Victoria and the SMR. Those in the Malvern area (within the CCHS catchment) have the highest ratios with 71.4% of the population predicted to have private health insurance.

CoS and CoGE come under the Higgins electorate. Hotham (Carnegie/East Bentleigh) and Goldstein (Caulfield, Elsternwick, Ormond and Gardenvale) incorporate a small part of CoGE LGA. Hotham predominately includes suburbs in Kingston and Greater Dandenong. From 2005 to 20102011 all electorates experienced a minor increase in the percentage of bulk billed services with the greatest difference being 2.8% for Hotham. The exception to this was Higgins, which had a minor decrease from 59.3% in 2005 to 59.1% in 20102011. However, overall in Victoria there was an increase in the percentage of bulk billed services from 72.3% in 2005 to 79.1% in 20102011. Mental health 2005–2006 mental health services – client residential profile by services type As a percentage of all mental health services provided in the SMR: • CoGE had the 2 nd highest number of clients and 3 rd highest number of contacts for Child Adolescent Mental Health Service and 4 th highest number of clients and contacts for Aged Mental Health Service

The purpose of this report is to provide Alcohol and Drug Treatment services information for use in funding, management, planning, monitoring, evaluation or improvement of service provision. The below data highlights the huge difference in the number of drug and alcohol clients in the and CoS compared to the CoGE and Melbourne. The data also provides an overview of the average age of clients and the lengths of their course of treatment (COT 8) and completed course of treatment (EOC 9).

8 COT = Course of treatment (A period of service provision between a client and alcohol and drug worker(s), with specified dates of commencement and cessation.)

9 EOC = A completed course of treatment undertaken by a client, where at least one significant agreed treatment goal is achieved under the care of an alcohol and drug worker

93

The data also provides a useful breakdown of different drug types, the number of clients seen and the length of days clients have been treated for.

Source: ADIS Agency Report 2007–08, Southern Metro, Inner South CHS 20080718 Analysis shows that of the local government areas reviewed, the City of Port Phillip had the highest number of clients and treatment (105 and 132 respectively), followed by the CoS (40 and 47), CoGE (9 and 10) and Melbourne (8 and 9). The data highlights that the most common drugs that clients received treatment for were alcohol (51), heroin (36), cannabis (21), amphetamines (19) and opioid analgesics (17).

Childhood immunisation rates The Australian Childhood Immunisation Register Coverage Report (31 March 2011) indicates that: • At age 12 to 15 months, 89.78 per cent of children in CoS and 91.42 per cent of children in CoGE had been fully immunised. This is slightly lower than the regional average of 92.35 per cent and Victorian average of 92.33 per cent. • At age 24 to 27 months, 91.64 per cent of children in CoS had been fully immunised, which is lower than the regional average of 93.43 per cent and Victorian average of 93.53 per cent. In contrast, a higher percentage of children in CoGE had been fully immunised (93.79 per cent) compared with the regional and state averages. • At age 60 to 63 months, 88.61 per cent of children in CoS had been fully immunised, which is the same as the regional average of 88.61 per cent and lower than the Victorian average of 90.95 per cent. Once again, a higher percentage of children in CoGE had been fully immunised (91.67 per cent) compared with state and regional averages.

Based on the scores from a teachercompleted checklist, the AEDI measures five areas, or domains, of early childhood development: • Physical health and wellbeing • Social competence • Emotional maturity • Language and cognitive skills (schoolbased) • Communication skills and general knowledge Based on the results of AEDI Community profiles (2012) 11 , children in the Cities of Glen Eira and Stonnington score consistently higher (and are at lower risk) than their counterparts in Victoria and Australia. In particular: • 79.5% of children in CoS and 74.3% of children in CoGE scored above the 50 th percentile on language and cognitive skills compared to 60.9% across Australia and 64.6% in Victoria. • 72.2% of children in CoGE and 70.3% of children in CoS scored above the 50 th percentile on communication skills and general knowledge compared to 56.0% across Australia and 60.7% in Victoria. • 10.4% of children in CoS and 12.6% of children in CoGE were vulnerable on one or more domains compared to 22.0% across Australia and 19.5% in Victoria. The following significant changes the proportion of children developmentally vulnerable in various domains has occurred over 2009 to 2012: Physical health and wellbeing: 4.3% reduction in CoS Social competence: 5.1% reduction in CoS and 1.1% reduction in CoGE Emotional maturity: 2.1% reduction in CoS Language and cognitive skills: no significant changes Communication skills and general knowledge: 3.1% reduction in CoS

11 In 2012 the AEDI was completed nationwide with 289,973 children surveyed representing 96.5% of children enrolled to start full time formal school (http://maps.aedi.org.au/profiles/vic/static/reports/22310.pdf )

Other Data Community safety Crime rates Crime statistics are produced annually by Victoria Police. Summaries of offences are reported per 100,000 population to enable comparisons across different areas. In 201112, the City of Glen Eira had much lower rates of crime against the person (406) and crime against property (2,927) than the Southern Metropolitan Region (977 and 4,484) and the Victorian State average (984 and 4,797). In 201112, the City of Stonnington had similar rates of crime against the person (991) compared to the Southern Metropolitan Region (977) and the Victorian State average (984), however had much larger rates of crime against property (6,222 compared to 4,484 and 4,797).

Family violence incidents This data set provides a count of family violence incidents recorded by police, by LGA. Rates for 2009–2010 were calculated using 2009 ERP figures. The figures were extracted from the LEAP database on 18 July 2010. Due to the variation in population size by LGA, it is best to use the rate of incidents per 1,000 ERP for comparing areas; the numbers can be used to show annual changes over time. In comparison to the SMR (7.2), the rate of family violence incidents per 1,000 ERP is lower in both CoGE (3.7) and CoS (4.89).
