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: Salisbury 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.

Salisbury security tip
Replace old latches on original windows and doors
Many of Salisbury's older homes still have their original aluminium windows with simple latches and a flywire door at the back. Keyed window locks, a proper security screen door and a sensor light over the back entry are cheap fixes that make a break-in slower and noisier. SA Police recorded 101 serious criminal trespass offences (break-ins) in Salisbury last year.
Salisbury homes and what they mean for security
Salisbury's streets mix former Housing Trust homes and 1960s and 1970s brick veneer houses on generous blocks with newer townhouses and courtyard homes where older lots have been subdivided. The town centre around John Street and Parabanks has shops and services, and light industrial areas with workshops and warehouses sit nearby. Homes often have long driveways and back yards open to side access, while businesses need after-hours alarms and cameras.
