Mapping perceptions of (un)safety across the Gauteng City-Region
Safety and security remain critical concerns for South Africans. In this Map of the Month, we draw on data from the Gauteng City-Region Observatory’s (GCRO) Quality of Life (QoL) Survey 7 (2023/24) to map a safety index that ranks residents’ perceptions of safety across Gauteng’s wards. Further analysis considers the safety score of residents by race, sex, income and dwelling type.
