Crime by mesh block — estimated rates and rank in suburb (by suburb) (beta)
suburbs_mesh_blocks_crimeBeta. The figures behind this topic have not been validated against an independent source, so it is not sold at the same confidence as the other mesh-block topics. Every response says beta: true and carries a beta_notice.
Is this place safe? Estimated crime rates for every mesh block in the suburb — all crime and eight types, per 100,000 residents a year — with where each block sits among the blocks in its suburb and nationally. From our mesh-block crime model, calibrated in November 2026 so each area's blocks add up to what police recorded there.
One entry per mesh block in the suburb under mesh_blocks, each with its mb_code, population and dwellings. Values only — the matching polygons come from /shapes/mesh-blocks.
Every field carries provenance — measured (at this block), measured_wider_area (measured for the SA1 or postcode and repeated on every block in it), estimate (our model) or not_recorded (not labelled yet) — plus how, one sentence on how the number was arrived at (empty when not_recorded).
