Johannesburg

StreetSignal's second city. 406 suburb profiles built from official and community-mapped open data: recorded crime for each police precinct, school profiles from the national schools masterlist, nearby amenities, and minibus taxi access.

What each profile covers

  • Recorded crime: SAPS quarterly figures for the suburb's police precinct, with five like-for-like quarters of history (2022 to 2026). Precinct figures are shared across suburbs and every page says so.
  • Schools: counts, no-fee shares, learner-educator ratios, and quintile mixes from the Department of Basic Education EMIS masterlist (Gauteng, Q3 2025).
  • Amenities: community-mapped facilities across 15 dimensions (healthcare, education, retail, green space, and more) from OpenStreetMap.
  • Minibus taxi access: facility locations and destinations from the CSIR Gauteng taxi facility survey (2024).

Johannesburg profiles do not yet carry a StreetSignal safety index. Publishing one requires population-weighted disaggregation that is still in progress; until it clears the same verification bar as Cape Town's, the profiles show precinct figures rather than a composite score. The Johannesburg methodologysets out the method, its limits, and the research it draws on.
