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: Mount Gambier as defined by the source. Figures are for the suburb as SA Police defines it. 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.
Housing stock: Limestone cottages and villas near the centre, post-war homes, and newer brick homes and estates

Mount Gambier security tip
Keep keys inside and lock older windows
Mount Gambier recorded 114 motor vehicle thefts last year. Lock the car every time and keep keys inside the house, away from doors and windows. Many older limestone homes have timber doors and sash windows that need keyed locks, and a sensor light over the driveway and a camera that records clearly at night help protect cars parked outside.
Mount Gambier homes and what they mean for security
Mount Gambier's older streets have homes and villas built from the local white limestone, many with timber sash windows, original doors and detached garages or sheds, alongside post-war homes and newer brick estates on the edges of the city. Cold, wet winters keep windows shut, but older frames often have weak latches. Timber, farming and transport businesses need yard and shed security.
