Methodology note: The safety index combines harm-per-resident and absolute harm volume using a composite formula. In high-density precincts, population size dilutes the per-capita rate while absolute harm remains high. Both dimensions are reflected in the composite score.

This data reflects crimes reported to SAPS Khayelitsha precinct, which covers Barnet Molokwana Corner and surrounding suburbs. Reported crime may differ from actual crime levels.Full methodology
