(a) Respondents may have indicated more than one problem. (b) Data collected for non-remote areas only. Source: National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, Queensland, 2002, cat. no. 4714.3.55.001 Three quarters of Indigenous people reported that they had experienced at least one problem in their neighbourhood or community, with significant differences between responses from remote and non-remote areas. For people living in remote areas, the most frequently reported problems were alcohol and illegal drugs (reported by more than 70% of people), followed by problems involving youth and family violence (65%). The neighbourhood problem most frequently reported by Indigenous people in non-remote areas was dangerous or noisy driving (reported by 46% of people) and theft (37%), while family violence was reported as a problem by comparatively few respondents (14%).
