3860 · Wellington · 187 residents
Valencia Creek is a locality in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia on the Valencia Creek-Briagolong Road, north of Maffra in the Shire of Wellington. The junction of Valencia Creek and the Avon River are a short distance upstream. Valencia Creek is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of Wellington council. It still has minimal public transport and 3 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 187 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 0 to 32 per 1,000 residents in Valencia Creek (down from a 43 peak in 2020). That leaves it 13% above the typical Victorian suburb — a genuine concern for residents and local businesses. 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 Wellington and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares Wellington with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in Wellington council has fallen from 5.3 to 5.3 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 3.6 in 2020. Since that low it has climbed about 50% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
