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 33/100 means only 33% of suburbs record more harm than Cape Town suburbs by this methodology. Pelikan Park’s rate sub-index is 52/100 and its volume sub-index is 21/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q3 2025/2026 (October-December 2025).
Why does Pelikan Park score 33 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 52 places Pelikan Park’s per-capita harm in the moderate range. The volume sub-index of 21 means absolute crime volume is high.
