A note on methodology: StreetSignal’s safety index is a relative measure comparing reported crime across Cape Town’s 744 suburbs; it is not an absolute safety guarantee. The index is a composite of two sub-dimensions: harm-per-resident (rate) and absolute harm volume. A score of 91/100 means safer than approximately 91% Cape Town suburbs by this methodology. Bantry Bay’s rate sub-index is 90/100 and its volume sub-index is 92/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q3 2025/2026 (October-December 2025).

Why does Bantry Bay score 91 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.
