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 (86th percentile), break-ins (68th percentile), robbery (81st percentile). Five years earlier the same basis gave 49.

Questions
Is Toll safe?
Queensland publishes crime figures by council area, not by suburb. Toll is in the Charters Towers council area, which recorded 2,650 violent offences per 100,000 residents in 2025-26, about 92% higher than the Queensland rate (1,380) and 2.1 times the national rate (1,280). A modelled estimate for Toll itself is roughly 7,700 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.
