Crime — breakdown by type
/v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/crime/breakdown10¢ per callPer-crime-type rates (predicted incidents per 100,000 residents per year) for the suburb vs national medians.
Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.
Price: 10¢ per call.
