What we do not hold here

Population, housing, crime, income and other census-style figures: we hold none for Australia here, so nothing above is a rate per person.
Charities are placed at the centre of their postcode; some have no postcode and are left out of the maps (about a tenth).
Charity income is held for a small subset only, so charities are ranked by ACNC size band.
Councils are matched by the nearest council centre, because council boundaries are not held; state electorates and federal divisions are not matched to a postcode.
