The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BS12 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
Limits to keep in mind
Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release, and each record is assigned to a district by its nearest postcode. Counts near district boundaries are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
Outcome labels in the source data are not court results or conviction rates.
