Modelled estimate, not police figures: Tiatukia (367 residents at the 2021 Census) is estimated to account for about 5 of the offences recorded each year in the Lower Eyre council area (likely 1 to 9), roughly 1,400 per 100,000 residents, including about 1 violent offences (likely 0 to 3). Ranges are 80% intervals; confidence 21 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 (20th percentile), break-ins (26th percentile), homicide (18th percentile). Five years earlier the same basis gave 10.
