Questions
Is Orrvale safe?
Victoria publishes crime figures by council area, not by suburb. Orrvale is in the Greater Shepparton council area, which recorded 1,720 violent offences per 100,000 residents in 2024-25, about 63% higher than the Victoria rate (1,060) and about 42% higher than the national rate (1,220). A modelled estimate for Orrvale itself is roughly 17,000 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.
