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. With only 443 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 — eased from 88 to 81 per 1,000 residents in Ravenswood (down from a 88 peak in 2016). That leaves it 186% above the typical Victorian suburb — a genuine concern for residents and local businesses. The picture is mixed across the three measures.
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 Bendigo and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares Greater Bendigo with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in Greater Bendigo council has risen from 3.6 to 5.3 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 3.0 in 2018. Since that low it has climbed about 74% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
Nearest police station, hospital, ambulance and fire facilities to this suburb.
The nearest of each — distance shown when it’s outside the suburb (measured straight-line from the centre).
GP and private medical clinics are not published as open government data, so they are not shown.
Sale prices aren't reported separately here — these are figures for Harcourt, the nearest reported locality in the same postcode.
Each figure is the annual median— the middle sale price across all sales in that calendar year, so one unusually high or low sale can't skew it (we use the latest full year). The Valuer-General reports sale prices by property type, not by bedrooms. Source: Victorian Property Sales Report, Valuer-General Victoria — © State of Victoria, reused under CC BY 3.0 AU.
