Ensay is a town located between Swifts Creek and Bruthen on the Great Alpine Road in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. Ensay is 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of the major town of Bairnsdale and 366 kilometres (227 mi) east of the state capital Melbourne. Ensay is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of East Gippsland council. It still has reasonable public transport and 3 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 155 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 13 to 6 per 1,000 residents in Ensay (down from a 13 peak in 2016). That keeps it 77% below the typical Victorian suburb — a reassuring sign for anyone living here. The picture is mixed across the three measures.
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 East Gippsland and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares East Gippsland with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in East Gippsland council has risen from 4.0 to 5.6 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 3.7 in 2023. Since that low it has climbed about 49% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
