What these scores mean for Glenmore

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: 65/100 · About average
Scores 65 out of 100, which is about average and lower than 83% of areas in South Africa. 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: No SAPS station data for this suburb yet — safety is estimated from data-backed suburbs nearby. This is an estimate from wider-area data, not measured for this area itself. Source: Estimated from nearby areas (estimated).
Affordability: 86/100 · Excellent
Scores 86 out of 100, which is excellent and lower than 99% 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: 61/100 · About average
Scores 61 out of 100, which is about average and better than 52% of areas in South Africa. What it measures: How many primary and secondary schools are within reach. How it is worked out: Real schools within range by phase (primary/secondary/pre-primary), weighted toward secondary. This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: DBE National Masterlist of Schools (2020) (2020).
Property Confidence: 70/100 · Good
Scores 70 out of 100, which is good and better than 60% of areas in South Africa. In practice, property data is plentiful and prices look steady. What it measures: How much reliable property data we have and how stable prices look. How it is worked out: Directional year-on-year price movement — not a valuation. This is based on strong, recent official data. Source: Stats SA Residential Property Price Index (RPPI 2010-2023).
