Police data to August 2026

Generates a printable report with charts & summary.

Is Pukekohe Central 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 annual total crime rate in Pukekohe Central is 3,070 crimes per thousand residents. The overall crime trend in the area has decreased in recent months with criminal activity peaking in November 2025, December 2025, March 2026.

How the safety score works

Few residents live here (300 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; Pukekohe Central is excluded from regional rankings.
