3175 · Greater Dandenong · 125 residents
Dandenong South is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of Greater Dandenong council. It still has very good public transport and 13 school zones.
Recorded offences per 1,000 residents, graded against the Victorian median. Lower is safer.
Grades use a 3-year averagerate, so one unusually quiet or busy year can't swing the result. With only 125 residents here, a handful of incidents still moves the rate a lot — read these with that in mind.
Offences per 1,000 residents over the last decade, against the Victorian median. A line below the dashed median means this suburb is safer than the typical Victorian suburb.
Over the past decade, property & deception offences — the bulk of recorded crime — eased from 12920 to 10504 per 1,000 residents in Dandenong South (down from a 12920 peak in 2016). That leaves it 36885% above the typical Victorian suburb — a genuine concern for residents and local businesses. Encouragingly, all three safety measures have improved over the decade.
Recorded offences in the latest year.
Alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents, against the Victorian average. The Crime Statistics Agency reports this by council, not by suburb, so it covers all of Greater Dandenong and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares Greater Dandenong with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in Greater Dandenong council has risen from 3.6 to 3.9 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 2.8 in 2018. Since that low it has climbed about 43% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
