This is crime that police recorded in the area over a year, July to June. Lots of crime is never reported, and a rise can mean police are looking harder, not just that more crime happened. Each state counts crime its own way, so only compare a council with its own state. South Australia Police publish crime by suburb. We add each suburb to its council, and split a suburb that crosses two councils by where its people live. A few offences have no suburb, so they only count for the state.
