It is on the less safe side of Adelaide, scoring 29/100 for safety and ranking #212 of 299 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 72 per 1,000 residents. That score is recorded offences per 1,000 residents from official crime statistics, as a percentile against every other suburb in the city.
Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 29/100, parks 92/100 and green space 87/100, with a median age of 41. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Adelaide families ranking for the full method.
Median rent is $238 a week, and household income ranks #293 of 299 in Adelaide. Its rental market is too thin for us to score value reliably.
It scores 41/100 for transit, #80 of 299 in Adelaide. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
100% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 6.0 hectares per 1,000 residents — 87/100 for green space.
Scores are percentiles against every other suburb in Adelaide: 100 is the
