Common questions about Stuart

Is Stuart a high-crime area?

Stuart falls in the “high crime” band: Higher weighted crime rate than 63% 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 Stuart?

What are the chances of being a victim of crime in Stuart?

Based on 2025 recorded offences per resident, roughly 1 in 50 for violent crime and 1 in 20 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.
