3235 · Surf Coast · 110 residents
Pennyroyal is a locality in Victoria, Australia. Most of the locality is situated in the Surf Coast Shire; a small section is situated in the Shire of Colac Otway. Pennyroyal is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of Surf Coast council. It still has minimal public transport and 2 school zones.
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. With only 110 residents here, a handful of incidents still moves the rate a lot — read these with that in mind.
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 9 to 27 per 1,000 residents in Pennyroyal (down from a 36 peak in 2024). That sits right around the typical Victorian suburb. 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 Surf Coast and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares Surf Coast with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in Surf Coast council has risen from 1.5 to 2.7 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 0.9 in 2018. Since that low it has climbed about 204% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
