The index is a composite of two sub-dimensions: harm-per-resident (rate) and absolute harm volume. A score of 43/100 is a relative index, not a percentile rank. Kommetjie’s rate sub-index is 35/100 and its volume sub-index is 54/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q4 2025/2026 (Jan–Mar 2026).

Why does Kommetjie score 43 out of 100?

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 35 places Kommetjie’s per-capita harm in the moderate range. The volume sub-index of 54 means absolute crime volume is moderate.
