3420 · West Wimmera · 129 residents
Serviceton is a town in rural western Victoria, Australia. It is near the Victorian–South Australian border, 437 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. Serviceton is a small locality — too few residents for its own AusScore, so it takes the overall grade of West Wimmera council. It still has minimal public transport and 2 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 129 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 54 per 1,000 residents in Serviceton (down from a 54 peak in 2019). That leaves it 91% above the typical Victorian suburb — a genuine concern for residents and local businesses. Most safety measures here have worsened over ten years.
