What these scores mean for Sethathi

- Safety: 23/100 · Weak
- Scores 23 out of 100, which is weak and lower than 99% of areas in South Africa. In practice, reported crime is high for its size; check the crime breakdown and talk to residents. 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.

This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: Stats SA income & rental index (modelled).

Source: DBE National Masterlist of Schools (2020) (2020).
- Property Confidence: 64/100 · About average
- Scores 64 out of 100, which is about average and lower than 98% of areas in South Africa. What it measures: How much reliable property data we have and how stable prices look.
