Where records cluster in BT16
Records by part of BT16: the west 222, the south 121, the south-east 110, the south-west 84, the north-west 82, the east 82, the centre 35, the north-east 34, the north 21.
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 BT16's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT16'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 BT16 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT16 on the crime map.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT16 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.
Figures below come from official open datasets, joined on postcode. Sources are listed on the
