What the public data says about East Victoria Park: who lives here, what the offence rates are, and where the figures sit against the rest of the state.
Suburb summary
East Victoria Park is a pretty conventional residential suburb by inner-city standards. It has 10,569 residents, households average 2.4 people, and 66.7% of its 4,172 dwellings are separate houses. Owner occupiers make up 57.4% of the suburb, while 40.7% is rented, so there is a healthy rental market without the suburb being dominated by it.
The demographic profile is strong. Median weekly family income is $2,705 compared with $2,112 for the middle WA suburb, and full-time employment is 58.4% against 56.2%. Education is another standout, with 40.8% holding a bachelor degree or higher compared with 23.9% across Western Australia. Public housing is the figure worth watching. At 4.6%, East Victoria Park sits right on Knome's concern point.
Crime needs a bit more context. Overall crime probability is 15.4 offences per 100 residents, above the 12.71 concern point. Property damage, burglary and motor vehicle theft also sit just over their concern points, although the margins are small. Social stability and assault remain within the typical range. Albany Highway matters here. East Victoria Park contains a busy commercial strip with shops, restaurants and licensed venues that attract plenty of people who do not live in the suburb. Offences occurring there are still divided across the resident population, so the headline rate does not necessarily describe the quieter residential streets behind it.
Knome would buy the pocket here, not the postcode. With two thirds of the housing stock made up of separate houses, the street, surrounding homes and immediate environment can make a big difference to both value and liveability. For investors, the 40.7% rental share gives genuine rental depth without turning East Victoria Park into a renter-led market.

Rated figures show where this suburb sits among Western Australian suburbs. Strong is the better half of the state and the far end is the outermost quarter, so the word means the same on every row. The scale always runs low to high, so green is on the right where more is better and on the left where less is.

Against an address, not a suburb
Four more checks only mean anything against a real address, because the answer changes between two streets and sometimes between two sides of one. They are what the free Red Flag Report runs, on screen, in seconds, without asking for anything.
Whether the property sits in a bushfire prone area on the state's mapping.
Whether the floodplain mapping reaches the block, which the suburb name never tells you.
Distance and exposure to the roads that carry the traffic, street by street.
Where the property sits under the Perth Airport flight paths and noise contours.
Addresses are a matter of public record, published by Landgate and the portals. Knome never names who bought a property.
