The index is a composite of two sub-dimensions: harm-per-resident (rate) and absolute harm volume. A score of 77/100 is a relative index, not a percentile rank. Bantry Bay’s rate sub-index is 67/100 and its volume sub-index is 89/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q4 2025/2026 (Jan–Mar 2026).

Why does Bantry Bay score 77 out of 100?

Bantry Bay maps to the Sea Point SAPS precinct. The precinct serves a station population of 37,472 across multiple suburbs. StreetSignal assigns the primary precinct as the data source. All suburbs under the same precinct receive an identical safety index. This is a known limitation of precinct-level data: the score reflects the precinct as a whole, not any individual suburb within it.

The rate sub-index of 67 places Bantry Bay’s per-capita harm in the lower range. The volume sub-index of 89 means absolute crime volume is low.
