Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), recorded criminal incidents by suburb, July 2025 to June 2026. Area: Dubbo as defined by the source. Figures are for the town as BOCSAR defines it (the suburb of the same name). They are counts of offences recorded by police, not rates per resident. Regional centres draw people from surrounding districts for shopping, services, work and nightlife, so their counts are higher than their population alone would suggest. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk. Totals quoted here leave out transport regulatory offences and offences against justice procedures (such as breach of bail).
Housing stock: Brick and weatherboard homes from the post-war decades, newer brick estates on the edges of town, units and townhouses near the centre, and rural-residential blocks

Dubbo security tip
Lock up the back of the house first
BOCSAR recorded 290 break-and-enters into homes in Dubbo last year. Start with the basics that cost least: keyed locks on every window, a deadlock on the back and laundry doors, and a sensor light over the side path. On larger or rural-residential blocks, a driveway alert and a camera covering the approach let you know when someone arrives long before they reach the house.
Dubbo homes and what they mean for security
Dubbo's older streets near the centre have brick and weatherboard homes from the post-war decades, many with deep back yards and detached garages or sheds. Newer estates on the edges of town have modern brick homes with double garages, and rural-residential blocks on the fringes bring long driveways and sheds set away from the house. Shops, offices and trade businesses in and around Macquarie Street need after-hours alarms and cameras.
