Common questions about Smithfield
Is Smithfield a high-crime area?
Smithfield falls in the “low crime” band: Higher weighted crime rate than 32% of 311 ranked QLD police divisions (2025). Rankings use a severity-weighted rate per resident, so serious offences count more than minor ones.
What is the crime rate in Smithfield?

What are the chances of being a victim of crime in Smithfield?
Based on 2025 recorded offences per resident, roughly 1 in 100 for violent crime and 1 in 28 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.
