Recorded criminal incidents for the whole suburb — raw counts (the approximate per-1,000-resident rate uses the 2021 Census population, which may lag actual growth), so larger suburbs naturally record more, and small-area counts fluctuate year to year. Years shown end 31 March; figures for same-named localities in different regions may be combined. Context, not a verdict; we publish no suburb rankings.
