Dawes Point
Greater Sydney · crime, rent, transit and who lives there, ranked against other suburbs.
Safety
14recorded incidents
14 recorded incidents, Jul 2025–Jun 2026, 385 residents (Census 2021).
No map colour: fewer than 1,000 Census 2021 residents, too few for a stable rate.
Most people here on a given day are workers or visitors, not residents. Incidents involving them still count, so the per-resident rate overstates it.
Ranked on this map by recorded incidents per 1,000 residents. Not an official BOCSAR score and not a live risk score.
Rates divide by Census 2021 residents. Suburbs that have grown since 2021, or that draw many visitors or workers, read higher than a resident would feel.
