ACT Suburb Crime Rankings
Full list of ACT suburbs ranked by overall ‘crime rating’ – an aggregated rank of all major crimes reported by the ACT police department, adjusted for suburb population, weighted against the ACT average (lower crime ranking = safer; 100 = highest crime).
Note that city CBD’s & ‘tourist/party’ suburbs typically over-index on a per-capita basis due to alcohol-related crimes & high amounts of non-permanent visitors who do not live there.
