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 homicide (60th percentile), theft (53rd percentile), sexual offences (28th percentile). Five years earlier the same basis gave 31.

Questions
Is Kin Kin safe?
Queensland publishes crime figures by council area, not by suburb. Kin Kin is in the Noosa council area, which recorded 534 violent offences per 100,000 residents in 2025-26, about 61% lower than the Queensland rate (1,380) and about 58% lower than the national rate (1,280). A modelled estimate for Kin Kin itself is roughly 6,200 offences of all kinds per 100,000 residents a year (an estimate, not police figures). These are offences recorded by police per resident: they describe the area as a whole, not the risk on any particular street, and places with a busy centre record more because offences are counted where they happen.
