Everyday amenities that lift the score
Recorded crime that lowers the score
Safety-weighted, so a very safe suburb with modest amenity outranks a high-amenity suburb with severe crime. Full methodology
Recorded offences per 1,000 residents, graded against the Victorian median. Lower is safer.
Grades use a 3-year averagerate, so one unusually quiet or busy year can't swing the result.
Offences per 1,000 residents over the last decade, against the Victorian median. A line below the dashed median means this suburb is safer than the typical Victorian suburb.
Over the past decade, property & deception offences — the bulk of recorded crime — climbed from 10 to 25 per 1,000 residents in Beechworth (down from a 30 peak in 2022). That keeps it 12% below the typical Victorian suburb — a reassuring sign for anyone living here. The picture is mixed across the three measures.
Recorded offences in the latest year.
Alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents, against the Victorian average. The Crime Statistics Agency reports this by council, not by suburb, so it covers all of Indigo and is not part of this suburb's AusScore— it's shown here as council context. The grade compares Indigo with the median Victorian council.
Youth offending in Indigo council has fallen from 3.0 to 2.4 alleged offenders aged 10–17 per 1,000 residents over the decade, having bottomed out at 0.5 in 2017. Since that low it has climbed about 354% — a worrying reversal that mirrors the statewide trend.

Each figure is the annual median— the middle sale price across all sales in that calendar year, so one unusually high or low sale can't skew it (we use the latest full year).
