Is Strand Safe? 89/100 Safety Score (2026)

Strand scores 89 out of 100 on StreetSignal’s safety index - lower reported crime. The trend is stable.

A score of 89/100 places Strand in the lower reported crime category across Cape Town’s 734 suburbs with safety data (of 744 total). The suburb has a Census 2022 population of 52 355.

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 89/100 means safer than approximately 89% 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 Strand score 89 out of 100?

Strand 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.
