Where records cluster in BT28
Records by part of BT28: the south-east 2,609, the east 1,344, the south-west 164, the north-east 51, the west 42, the south 19, the north-west 16, the north 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 BT28's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT28'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 BT28 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT28 on the crime map.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT28 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
