What is the most dangerous suburb in Melbourne?

This is always a controversial topic mandamac, how do you define dangerous? Melbourne is not exactly a third world city but I am sure it has some sketchy areas.

Interestingly Prahran, while voted one of the most family friendly suburbs, has just made the cut for one of the top ten most dangerous based on crime per capita. Which is really concerning.

I suppose you’re more likely to have a break-in in higher density areas, more likely to have a traffic collision in inner city areas, however you’ve got to watch out for environmental dangers like bush fires and flooding further out so you need to weigh your options. Stack the odds in your favour and be smart about security :)

Great point James. It’s not just crime - it’s natural danger too.
