Pental Island is an island and locality in Victoria, Australia, bordering Swan Hill, Victoria in the north. The island is bordered by the Murray River in the north and the Little Murray River in the south; the Little Murray diverges from the Murray at Fish Point and converges at Swan Hill. Pental Island is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of Swan Hill council. It still has excellent public transport and 5 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 159 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 Pental Island (down from a 25 peak in 2020). That keeps it 78% below the typical Victorian suburb — a reassuring sign for anyone living here. 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 Swan Hill and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares Swan Hill with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in Swan Hill council has risen from 3.0 to 4.3 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 2.6 in 2022. Since that low it has climbed about 67% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
