Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), recorded criminal incidents by suburb, July 2025 to June 2026. Area: Parramatta 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: High-rise apartments, walk-up units from the 1960s to 1980s, older freestanding houses, offices and shops

Parramatta security tip
Treat the shared car park like a public street
Basement car parks under Parramatta's apartment blocks are shared by hundreds of residents, visitors and delivery drivers, and BOCSAR recorded 180 thefts from motor vehicles in the suburb last year. Treat your space like a public street: leave nothing on show, lock storage cages, and ask your strata committee for cameras on the car park entry, exit and lift lobby.
Parramatta homes and what they mean for security
Parramatta has changed quickly: apartment towers now line the river and the streets around the station and Parramatta Square, while older walk-up blocks of units and freestanding houses remain on the side streets further out. Strata buildings share car parks, bike rooms and parcel areas, so most camera and access upgrades go through the owners corporation. Offices, shops and restaurants in the CBD and along Church Street need after-hours alarms and cameras that cover rear lanes and loading areas.
