Wongarbon recorded 36 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, unchanged from 36 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 $380 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $335 and $435 a week. Fair Trading recorded 11 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $275 to $360 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 13 and violent-related offences 14. Intimidation, stalking and harassment made up the largest published share (9 incidents, 25%). Next was Theft (8). 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.
