Wilcannia recorded 400 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, down 25.1% from 534 a year earlier. These are police-recorded incidents, not convictions, and they are not adjusted for how many people live or visit here. Half of new bonds sat between $120 and $208 a week. Fair Trading recorded 11 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $180 to $130 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 119 and violent-related offences 133. Against justice procedures made up the largest published share (110 incidents, 28%). Next was Assault (81). The crime series is coded to this suburb name; the rent series, where shown, is the whole postcode. The two windows are not identical: rents are calendar year, recorded crime is the 12 months to March 2026. Some person-offence categories are not itemised here because suburb geography under-counts them. Do not rank this suburb as more or less dangerous from the raw incident total.
