Port Franklin is a small fishing village 182 kilometres (113 mi) south-east of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. It is about 2 km inland from the coastline of Corner Inlet. Port Franklin is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of South Gippsland council. It still has minimal 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 174 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 — climbed from 0 to 17 per 1,000 residents in Port Franklin (down from a 69 peak in 2018). That keeps it 39% below the typical Victorian suburb — a reassuring sign for anyone living here. Most safety measures here have worsened over ten years.
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 South Gippsland and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares South Gippsland with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in South Gippsland council has risen from 1.1 to 5.0 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 1.0 in 2019. Since that low it has climbed about 389% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.
