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 99/100 means safer than approximately 99% Cape Town suburbs by this methodology. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q3 2025/2026 (October-December 2025).

Why does Hanover Park score 99 out of 100?

Hanover Park maps to the Unknown SAPS precinct. 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.
