Area evidence and limitations

Public-alpha research estimate centered on Sydney's global city score. The layer covers the 33 suburbs intersecting the City of Sydney local-government area and combines selected traveler-relevant 2025 NSW BOCSAR recorded incidents with official suburb geometry and polygon-area density. These are reported counts, not resident or visitor victimization rates; tourism, nightlife, commuting, reporting, enforcement and very small polygons materially affect the pattern. Overall only; not travel advice.

Before choosing accommodation

  1. Locate your intended stay on the map and check whether that area has evidence.
  2. Read what drives the local differences. A citywide score and an area estimate answer different questions.
  3. Check current local advice and your transport options separately. These estimates cannot assess a specific hotel, street or time of day.
