Bordeaux

Johannesburg, Gauteng

What official and community-mapped data says about Bordeaux: recorded crime for its police precinct, its school profile, nearby amenities, and minibus taxi access. Johannesburg profiles do not yet carry a StreetSignal safety index; theJohannesburg methodology pageexplains what is published now and why.

Recorded crime in the Randburg precinct

SAPS publishes crime figures for police precincts, not suburbs.Bordeaux is assigned to the Randburg precinct, whose figures cover this suburb and 20other suburbs. These are precinct totals, not measurements of Bordeaux alone, and there is no per-suburb safety index for Johannesburg yet.

Trend columns show the January to March quarter for each year from 2022 to 2026 (like-for-like quarters). Source: SAPS quarterly crime statistics. SAPS section totals and police-action categories (drug crime, driving under the influence, illegal firearms) are excluded: totals double-count their components, and police-action figures track police effort rather than residential victimisation. Precinct assignment uses StreetSignal's own station-catchment construction, which can differ from official precinct boundaries; see themethodology.

  • THE WILLOWS SCHOOL (primary school)

What this matric figure is. National Senior Certificate results from the Department of Basic Education's 2025 School Performance Report, covering the one school here that presented candidates, so it describes that school rather than the suburb. Each school is weighted by its candidate numbers. It is the share of those who wrote the exams and passed — learners who left school before Grade 12 are not counted in it, so it does not show how many children here finish school.
