Where records cluster in BT22
Records by part of BT22: the north 329, the south 149, the east 145, the north-east 139, the south-east 93, the north-west 18, the centre 13.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 1.1 km across, the size the crime map uses zoomed out, and holds at least one of BT22's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT22'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 BT22 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT22 on the crime map.

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
