Motor vehicle theft was excluded from this analysis due to high levels of sample error. Endnote 2 ENDNOTES Endnote 1 All comparisons discussed have been tested for statistical significance with a 95% level of confidence that there is a real difference in the two populations being tested. Only data with a relative standard error (RSE) of less than 25% is referred to in the text of this publication and these estimates are considered sufficiently reliable for general use. To determine whether there is a statistical difference between any other two estimates, significance testing should be undertaken. For further information, refer to the Technical Note. Endnote 2 Due to the relatively small numbers of households experiencing two and three or more incidents of motor vehicle theft in the 12 months prior to interview, these estimates are subject to high sampling error (for further details refer to the Technical Note).
