Street-crime records per 1,000 residents
Northern Ireland runs its own census, which is not loaded here, so no rate is shown.
Rates cover England and Wales only. Residents: Office for National Statistics, Census 2021 postcode estimates, Open Government Licence v3.0. How rates are built.

Share of BT26 records in the same trailing window. The black line on each bar marks the England and Wales share for the same months.
Records by part of BT26: the north-west 121, the west 16, the east 16, the north-east 12, the south-east 12, the south 6, the north 6, the south-west 5.
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 BT26's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT26'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 BT26 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT26 on the crime map.

Is BT26 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for BT26 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 16 records a month. The busiest month was May 2026, with 22.
Records here changed by -4.0% on the 12 months before, against -1.7% across the Police Service of Northern Ireland area over the same months. With 191 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 40.3% of records, against 15.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT26 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
