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.
