It is on the less safe side of Adelaide, scoring 38/100 for safety and ranking #187 of 299 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 59 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 parks and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 38/100, parks 26/100 and green space 27/100, with a median age of 43. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Adelaide families ranking for the full method.
