What these scores mean for De Nova
Each score is out of 100. Higher is better for you: a high affordability score means cheaper relative to local incomes, and a high safety score means less crime. Comparisons are with other areas in the same country.
- Safety: 91/100 · Excellent
- Scores 91 out of 100, which is excellent and better than 94% of areas in South Africa. In practice, reported crime is low for its size. What it measures: How safe the area is, from reported crime adjusted for population, with burglary and robbery counting most. How it is worked out: Severity-weighted reported crime per 1,000 residents vs the urban benchmark. Burglary and robbery are weighted heavily. This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: SAPS crime statistics (SAPACR 2008–2023) (2022-2023).
- Affordability: 94/100 · Excellent
- Scores 94 out of 100, which is excellent and better than 63% of areas in South Africa. In practice, rent takes a reasonable share of local incomes. What it measures: How average rent compares with what households here typically earn. How it is worked out: Average rent as a share of median monthly income. This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: Stats SA income & rental index (modelled).
- Schools: 54/100 · Below average
- Scores 54 out of 100, which is below average and lower than 51% of areas in South Africa. What it measures: How many primary and secondary schools are within reach.

Source: DBE National Masterlist of Schools (2020) (2020).
- Property Confidence: 82/100 · Good
- Scores 82 out of 100, which is good and better than 75% of areas in South Africa. In practice, property data is plentiful and prices look steady.
