Dysart crime rate and Crime Score · Queensland
Dysart is a suburb in the Isaac council area of Queensland (about 23,186 residents in the council). The council has a Crime Score 47 out of 100 (moderate), 198th of 362 councils nationally.
Modelled estimate, not police figures: Dysart (2,918 residents at the 2021 Census) is estimated to account for about 230 of the offences recorded each year in the Isaac council area (likely 110 to 370), roughly 7,800 per 100,000 residents, including about 36 violent offences (likely 22 to 50). Ranges are 80% intervals; confidence 44 of 100. The estimate shares the council's published total (2025-26, three-year average) between its suburbs using a model trained on South Australia's suburb-level police data and ABS measures of each suburb's population and socio-economic profile.
The score blends national percentile ranks for each published offence category with fixed severity weights; here it is driven most by assault (56th percentile), break-ins (51st percentile), homicide (48th percentile). Five years earlier the same basis gave 30.
In 2025-26: violent 1,199 per 100,000 (+76% vs five years earlier); property 3,895 per 100,000 (+96% vs five years earlier); break-ins 574 per 100,000 (+74% vs five years earlier); theft 1,928 per 100,000 (+122% vs five years earlier).
