Source: Crime Statistics Agency Victoria, recorded offences by suburb or town, Year to 30 June 2026. Area: Shepparton as defined by the source. Figures are for the suburb or town as the Crime Statistics Agency defines it, and include every offence type it records, including breaches of court orders and bail conditions. 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: Post-war weatherboard and brick homes, 1970s and 1980s brick houses, newer estates to the north and south, and orchard and rural-residential blocks
