Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), recorded criminal incidents by suburb, July 2025 to June 2026. Area: Blacktown as defined by the source. Figures are counts of offences recorded by police for the whole suburb, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. 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), which mostly reflect enforcement at stations and courts.
Housing stock: Post-war brick and fibro houses, former Housing Commission homes, townhouses and newer apartments near the station

Blacktown security tip
Keep car keys away from the front door
Modern cars are hard to drive away without their key, so the key is worth protecting. Keep keys out of sight and away from the front door, lock the car and the garage every night, and point a camera with good night vision at the driveway. Blacktown recorded 102 motor vehicle thefts in the year to June 2026.
Blacktown homes and what they mean for security
Blacktown's residential streets are mostly single-storey brick and fibro houses built from the 1950s to the 1980s, including many former Housing Commission homes, with blocks increasingly split for duplexes, villas and townhouses. Apartments have gone up near the station and the town centre. Cars are usually parked in driveways or on the street, and many homes have a side path to the back yard that can't be seen from the street.
