Questions
Is Womina safe?
Queensland publishes crime figures by council area, not by suburb. Womina is in the Southern Downs council area, which recorded 1,300 violent offences per 100,000 residents in 2025-26, about 6% lower than the Queensland rate (1,380) and close to the national rate (1,280). A modelled estimate for Womina itself is roughly 6,900 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.
