Evans Head recorded 216 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, up 19.3% from 181 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 $625 a week and flats/units at $450. Townhouse bonds sat at $550 a week. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $450; three-bedroom bonds $620. One-bedroom bonds sat at $395 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $440 and $625 a week. Fair Trading recorded 106 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $400 to $500 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 91 and violent-related offences 66. Theft made up the largest published share (58 incidents, 27%). Next was Assault (37). The crime series is coded to this suburb name; the rent series, where shown, is the whole postcode.
