About This Data

Crime statistics are sourced from the New Zealand Police Victimisation Data, covering reported incidents across all territorial authorities. Data is updated monthly and reflects rolling 12-month periods. Per capita rates are calculated using 2023 Census population data from Stats NZ.

Note: These statistics represent reported crimes and may not capture all incidents. Crime rates should be considered alongside other factors when assessing area safety.
