Pelikan Park’s rate sub-index is 26/100 and its volume sub-index is 29/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q4 2025/2026 (Jan–Mar 2026).

Why does Pelikan Park score 27 out of 100?

Pelikan Park maps to the Grassy Park SAPS precinct. The precinct serves a station population of 108,019 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 26 places Pelikan Park’s per-capita harm in the higher range. The volume sub-index of 29 means absolute crime volume is high.
