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 88 to 93 per 1,000 residents in Shepparton, and now sit at a ten-year high. That leaves it 228% above the typical Victorian suburb — a genuine concern for residents and local businesses. Most safety measures here have worsened over ten years.
