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: Port Lincoln 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 cottages and post-war homes near the centre, brick homes from the 1970s onwards, and waterfront homes and units near the marina

Port Lincoln security tip
Lock the car, the boat and the trailer
Port Lincoln recorded 189 motor vehicle thefts last year, a high number for a city of its size. Lock the car every time, including at home, keep keys inside and away from doors and windows, park in a garage or behind a locked gate where you can, and cover the driveway with a camera that records clearly at night. Boats and trailers need locks and a secure place too.
Port Lincoln homes and what they mean for security
Port Lincoln's older streets have stone cottages and post-war homes near the centre, while brick homes from the 1970s onwards spread over the hills around Boston Bay. Waterfront homes and units near the marina often have boats and trailers kept at home. Fishing, port and farming businesses need yard and shed security, and many homes sit empty during long fishing trips or holidays.
