Modelled estimate, not police figures: Ramsay (369 residents at the 2021 Census) is estimated to account for about 13 of the offences recorded each year in the Toowoomba council area (likely 5 to 23), roughly 3,400 per 100,000 residents, including about 1 violent offences (likely 0 to 2). Ranges are 80% intervals; confidence 26 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 break-ins (77th percentile), assault (50th percentile), homicide (72nd percentile). Five years earlier the same basis gave 56.

In 2025-26: violent 1,196 per 100,000 (+68% vs five years earlier); property 4,545 per 100,000 (+21% vs five years earlier); break-ins 785 per 100,000 (+12% vs five years earlier); theft 2,410 per 100,000 (+37% vs five years earlier). For violent crime that is 63rd of 78 Queensland councils with data, highest first.
