Haymarket recorded 5,528 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, down 8.0% from 6,009 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 $1,100 a week and flats/units at $1,100. Townhouse bonds sat at $1,500 a week. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $1,300; three-bedroom bonds $1,900. One-bedroom bonds sat at $800 a week. Four-bedroom bonds sat at $3,400 a week.

Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Transport regulatory offences were 2,502 (45% of the total); excluding them, the count is 3,026. Fare and parking enforcement can move that category independently of neighbourhood property or violent crime.
