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: 50/100 · Below average
