Generates a printable report with charts & summary.

Is Islands Bay of Plenty Region safe? Its score is unreliable because few people live here: crime in a commercial or public area divided by under 500 residents gives an extreme rate, so it is not ranked.

The overall crime trend in the area has remained the same in recent months.

How the safety score works

Few residents live here (30 at the 2023 Census). Crime in a commercial, industrial or harbour area is counted where it happens, so dividing it by a small resident population produces an extreme per-1,000 rate. Treat the score and rate here as unreliable; Islands Bay of Plenty Region is excluded from regional rankings.
