Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), recorded criminal incidents by suburb, July 2025 to June 2026. Area: Penrith 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: Brick and fibro houses from the 1950s to 1980s, villas and townhouses, apartments near the station and the river

Penrith security tip
Lock up the work ute and trailer
Plenty of Penrith households park a work ute, trailer or boat in the driveway, and tools left in a ute tray or toolbox overnight are an easy target. Bring tools inside or into a locked garage, fit a proper lock to the toolbox, use a hitch or wheel lock on trailers, and cover the driveway with a camera and sensor light.
Penrith homes and what they mean for security
Penrith's older streets have brick and fibro houses on generous blocks, often with a carport, shed and room for a trailer or caravan down the side, while townhouses, villas and apartments have been built closer to the station, the High Street and the river. The city centre has shops, offices and a TAFE and university presence nearby, and industrial estates sit on the edges of the suburb. Security needs range from driveway cameras and monitored alarms for homes to patrols for business sites.
