Source: WA Police Force crime statistics, locality data (selected offences), 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Armadale 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.

Armadale security tip
Secure the side access and shed on bigger blocks
Many Armadale homes sit on bigger blocks with a shed, a side gate and a boat, trailer or work vehicle parked down the side. Those areas are out of sight from the street and the house. A lockable side gate, a sensor light, a solid padlock or shed alarm and one camera covering the side access cover the part of the property a front door camera can't see.
Armadale homes and what they mean for security
Older parts of Armadale are mostly single-storey brick-and-tile houses from the 1970s and 1980s on generous blocks, many with sheds, carports and side access for trailers and caravans. Units and villas cluster near the shopping precinct and station, newer estates have spread to the south and west, and semi-rural lots towards the Darling Scarp have long driveways and wide boundaries. Security needs range from a simple alarm and lighting upgrade to perimeter cameras and gate control on larger properties.
