Zoom in for suburb boundaries in NSW, VIC, SA and ACT. QLD shows council areas because QLD Police don't publish suburb data in bulk. Colours compare areas within the same state, since each state counts offences differently.

Number = percentile of severity-weighted crime per resident within the state (0 = lowest, 100 = highest). City centres and shopping hubs rank high partly because many visitors are there and few people live there.

Why CrimeAustralia

Everything free

Violent and property lenses, multi-year trends, comparisons and printable reports. Nothing sits behind a pass.

Rates by crime type

Every offence type is shown per 1,000 residents against the state average. Raw counts alone don't tell you whether a number is high.

Harm first

Justice-procedure and regulatory offences are shown separately, so the headline reflects crimes that hurt people and property.

Open method

Severity weights, offence mapping, population sources and data caveats are all published.
