Source: Tasmania Police Corporate Performance Report, Annual 2025-26, total offences by police division, 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Glenorchy as defined by the source. Tasmania Police publishes these figures by police division, and a division covers the suburb or town centre and its neighbouring suburbs, so they are for a wider area than the page name alone. They come from Tasmania Police's monthly performance report, which it says may differ slightly from its official crime statistics. They are counts of offences recorded by police, 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.
Housing stock: Post-war weatherboard and brick homes, former housing department estates, units, and newer townhouses

Glenorchy security tip
Keep car keys away from the door
The Glenorchy division recorded 208 stolen vehicles last year. Keep car keys inside and away from doors and windows, lock the car every time, including in the driveway, and park in a garage or behind a locked gate where you can. A sensor light and a camera over the driveway help deter anyone trying car doors at night.
Glenorchy homes and what they mean for security
Glenorchy's streets have post-war weatherboard and brick homes on sloping blocks, former housing department estates, units and newer townhouses, with the Main Road shops and Northgate at the centre. Many homes have a driveway or carport rather than a lock-up garage, and back yards reached by a side path that can't be seen from the street. Businesses in the industrial areas near the river need after-hours alarms and cameras.
