Hey Soccer fans — or football fans depending on where you hang your shin guards — get ready for the 9th FIFA Women's World Cup, jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand this summer. For those who may not yet be soccer, er football, fans, the tournament is held every four years, one year after the men's World Cup, and follows a month-long schedule, which started on July 20, 2023, and will last through August 20, 2023.
This year, however, has some firsts — an expanded format with 32 teams participating, up from the previous 24, and will be played in 10 stadiums across nine host cities in two countries, including venues like Eden Park in Auckland and Sydney Olympic Stadium (six stadiums in the Australia and four in NZ). If you are some of the lucky few who get to attend the games in Australia, we’ve got your crime risk scores to help you make informed decisions about where to stay and play, and how to get there.
Know your risk. Be safe.
**Crime risk scores are multiples of the national median crime risk. A score of 1x risk is equal to the national median, and a score of 0.5x indicates that the area is half as risky. While PCI cannot predict if you will be the victim of a crime, it is important to know your crime risk so you can make informed decisions.
