Suburb - Crime

Crime — rate per mesh block

Total crime rate for every mesh block in the suburb, keyed by ABS mesh-block code. Values are predicted incidents per 100,000 residents per year (see the payload's unit / definition keys).

Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.

Price: 15¢ per call.
