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: Murray Bridge 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: Older stone and brick homes near the river and the centre, post-war homes, and newer estates on the edges of town

Murray Bridge security tip
Light the front, lock the gate
Murray Bridge recorded 361 property damage offences last year, the largest single group. Good lighting at the front and sides of the house, a solid fence with a lockable gate, and a camera covering the driveway and the street all help. Businesses on the main roads should cover rear entries and yards with cameras and lighting as well as the shopfront.
Murray Bridge homes and what they mean for security
Murray Bridge's older streets near the river and the centre have stone and brick homes, some with cellars and outbuildings, while post-war homes and newer estates have spread out as the town has grown. River shacks and holiday homes along the Murray often sit empty for weeks. Farming, meat-processing and transport businesses on the edges of town need yard and shed security.
