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 26/100 is a relative index, not a percentile rank. Kraaifontein’s rate sub-index is 31/100 and its volume sub-index is 21/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q4 2025/2026 (Jan–Mar 2026).

Why does Kraaifontein score 26 out of 100?

Kraaifontein maps to the Kraaifontein SAPS precinct. The precinct serves a station population of 258,291 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.
