Everyday amenities that lift the score
Recorded crime that lowers the score
Safety-weighted, so a very safe suburb with modest amenity outranks a high-amenity suburb with severe crime. Full methodology
Recorded offences per 1,000 residents, graded against the Victorian median. Lower is safer.
Grades use a 3-year averagerate, so one unusually quiet or busy year can't swing the result.
Offences per 1,000 residents over the last decade, against the Victorian median. A line below the dashed median means this suburb is safer than the typical Victorian suburb.
Over the past decade, property & deception offences — the bulk of recorded crime — climbed from 19 to 27 per 1,000 residents in Curlewis, and now sit at a ten-year high. That keeps it 6% below the typical Victorian suburb — a reassuring sign for anyone living here. Most safety measures here have worsened over ten years.
Recorded offences in the latest year.
Alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents, against the Victorian average. The Crime Statistics Agency reports this by council, not by suburb, so it covers all of Greater Geelong and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares Greater Geelong with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in Greater Geelong council has risen from 4.3 to 4.9 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 2.9 in 2021. Since that low it has climbed about 68% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
