Questions
Is Eldorado safe?
Victoria publishes crime figures by council area, not by suburb. Eldorado is in the Wangaratta council area, which recorded 1,410 violent offences per 100,000 residents in 2024-25, about 33% higher than the Victoria rate (1,060) and about 16% higher than the national rate (1,220). A modelled estimate for Eldorado itself is roughly 11,000 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.
