Common questions about 2027
Is 2027 a high-crime area?
2027 falls in the “low crime” band: Higher weighted crime rate than 39% of 585 ranked NSW postcodes (2025). Rankings use a severity-weighted rate per resident, so serious offences count more than minor ones.
What is the crime rate in 2027?
In 2025, 383 offences were recorded in 2027, or 49.0 per 1,000 residents. That is 0.7× the NSW rate of 72.9.
What are the chances of being a victim of crime in 2027?
Based on 2025 recorded offences per resident, roughly 1 in 110 for violent crime and 1 in 37 for property crime. Recorded crime includes offences against visitors and businesses, so this overstates risk for residents.
Where does this data come from?
Official recorded-crime statistics published by state police and crime statistics agencies, divided by 2021 Census or ABS population estimates. See the methodology page for details.
Data notes
- Population is estimated (medium confidence) from the ABS 2021 Census.
- Recorded crime counts offences reported to or detected by police where they occurred. That includes offences against visitors and businesses, so busy centres score higher than their resident risk.
- States classify offences differently, so ranks compare areas within the same state.
