How Penfield Gardens compares
On the combined rate across break-in, motor-vehicle and violent offences — against the 833 suburbs in SA we cover — the only fair comparison, since rates differ by state, source and period.
Over time — combined recorded rate
Break-in, motor-vehicle and violent offences combined, per 100,000 residents in Penfield Gardens. Down 11% from 2024-25 Q1-Q3 to 2025-26 Q1-Q3 (2 periods).
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 SA at the same level. Figures are official (South Australia Police crime statistics by suburb, 2025-26 Q1-Q3, 2025-26 Q1-Q3).
Your street in Penfield Gardens — not the whole suburb
These numbers describe Penfield Gardens as a whole, but nobody actually watches an entire suburb — you watch your own place. Add your street, a parent's home, or the kids' school as a watched place, and Pryer gives you a timely, factual heads-up when something's reported nearby — not the whole suburb's worth of noise. It gets more useful as more neighbours in Penfield Gardens join in. Peace of mind, not paranoia.
