Noordwyk

Johannesburg, Gauteng

What official and community-mapped data says about Noordwyk: 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 Midrand precinct

SAPS publishes crime figures for police precincts, not suburbs.Noordwyk is assigned to the Midrand precinct, whose figures cover this suburb and 16other suburbs. These are precinct totals, not measurements of Noordwyk 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.
