How to read this: these are recorded break-in, motor-vehicle and violent offences only — a subset of recorded crime, not a total. Recorded rates aren't a measure of danger, and an absence of reports doesn't mean an area is "safe". Comparisons are only with other areas in NSW at the same level. Figures are official (NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, LGA recorded crime workbook series, Apr 2025-Mar 2026).
Your street in Port Macquarie-Hastings — not the whole council area
