Home Burglary Risk in Australia
Check your suburb's real burglary risk using official police data. Get a personalised home security score and find out exactly how to protect your property.
Australia-Wide Coverage
We aggregate official crime statistics from every Australian state and territory to give you accurate, suburb-level burglary risk data. No estimates, no third-party guesses — just the numbers from government agencies responsible for recording crime.
Official Data Sources
All burglary statistics come directly from government crime agencies:
- NSW — Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR). Suburb-level break and enter data, quarterly updates.
- Victoria — Crime Statistics Agency (CSA). LGA and postcode-level residential burglary, annual release.
- Queensland — Queensland Police Service (QPS). Division and suburb-level unlawful entry data.
- Western Australia — WA Police Force (WAPOL). Suburb-level burglary/dwelling offences, quarterly updates.
- South Australia — Office of Crime Statistics and Research (OCSAR). LGA-level serious criminal trespass data.
- Tasmania, NT, ACT — State/territory police published statistics with LGA or regional breakdowns.
Why Local Burglary Risk Matters
Burglary rates vary enormously between suburbs — even neighbouring ones can differ by 5–10x. National averages are meaningless when assessing your home's actual risk. Our tool uses your specific suburb's recorded break and enter data to calculate a risk level that's relevant to your address.
Combined with a detailed assessment of your home's physical security features (doors, locks, windows, lighting, alarms, cameras), you get a personalised 0–100 score that shows exactly where you stand and what to improve first.
