North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 280 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of BT1's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT1's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of BT1 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT1 on the crime map.
