Source: South Australia Police crime statistics on data.sa.gov.au (offences against the person and property), 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Elizabeth as defined by the source. Figures are counts of offences recorded by police for the whole suburb, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.

Elizabeth security tip
Work with your neighbour on shared side access
Many Elizabeth homes are Housing Trust semi-detached pairs, where a shared driveway or side path runs between neighbours. Agree with your neighbour on a lockable gate across the shared side access, sensor lights both sides, and camera angles that cover the shared area without pointing into each other's windows.
Elizabeth homes and what they mean for security
Elizabeth's streets are dominated by homes built by the Housing Trust in the 1950s and 1960s, including many semi-detached pairs and freestanding brick houses on wide blocks, some now replaced with units and townhouses. The city centre has the main shopping complex, government services and the station, with industrial areas nearby. Many homes are rented, so upgrades such as locks and cameras often need the landlord's agreement.
