Bond medians describe new lodgements with Fair Trading, not every current lease in the suburb. Blacktown recorded 7,811 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, down 24.8% from 10,386 a year earlier. These are police-recorded incidents, not convictions, and they are not adjusted for how many people live or visit here. House bonds typically leased at $620 a week and flats/units at $545. Townhouse bonds sat at $630 a week. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $550; three-bedroom bonds $640. One-bedroom bonds sat at $415 a week. Four-bedroom bonds sat at $750 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $525 and $670 a week. Fair Trading recorded 2,853 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $400 to $595 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Transport regulatory offences were 1,964 (25% of the total); excluding them, the count is 5,847. Fare and parking enforcement can move that category independently of neighbourhood property or violent crime.
