New rental bonds in that postcode had a median weekly rent of $550 in 2025, unchanged from $550 in 2024. That is about 21% below the NSW median of $695. Bond medians describe new lodgements with Fair Trading, not every current lease in the suburb. Port Kembla recorded 842 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, down 12.1% from 958 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 $650 a week and flats/units at $440. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $468; three-bedroom bonds $650. One-bedroom bonds sat at $390 a week. Four-bedroom bonds sat at $910 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $420 and $650 a week. Fair Trading recorded 202 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $370 to $550 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Transport regulatory offences were 293 (35% of the total); excluding them, the count is 549. Fare and parking enforcement can move that category independently of neighbourhood property or violent crime. Transport regulatory offences made up the largest published share (293 incidents, 35%).
