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 22 per 1,000 residents in McKinnon (down from a 27 peak in 2023). That keeps it 22% 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.
