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 homicide (82nd percentile), sexual offences (35th percentile), theft (22nd percentile). Five years earlier the same basis gave 21.

Questions
Is Huon safe?
Victoria publishes crime figures by council area, not by suburb. Huon is in the Indigo council area, which recorded 518 violent offences per 100,000 residents in 2024-25, about 51% lower than the Victoria rate (1,060) and about 57% lower than the national rate (1,220). A modelled estimate for Huon itself is roughly 2,800 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.
