Bond medians describe new lodgements with Fair Trading, not every current lease in the suburb. Hay recorded 200 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, down 23.1% from 260 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 $280 a week and flats/units at $190. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $220; three-bedroom bonds $305. One-bedroom bonds sat at $170 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $178 and $295 a week. Fair Trading recorded 59 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $190 to $230 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 52 and violent-related offences 77. Intimidation, stalking and harassment made up the largest published share (45 incidents, 22%). Next was Against justice procedures (39). The crime series is coded to this suburb name; the rent series, where shown, is the whole postcode.
