Parkes, NSW
On recorded break-in, motor-vehicle and violent offences, Parkes sits higher than most the council areas in NSW that Pryer covers — 20 council areas recorded a higher rate, 108 recorded a lower one.
How Parkes compares
On the combined rate across break-in, motor-vehicle and violent offences — against the 129 council areas in NSW 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 Parkes. Up 5% from 2021-2022 to 2025-2026 (5 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 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 Parkes — not the whole council area
These numbers describe Parkes as a whole, but nobody actually watches an entire council area — 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 council area's worth of noise. It gets more useful as more neighbours in Parkes join in. Peace of mind, not paranoia.
