Where records cluster in BT28

Published street-crime records in BT28, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

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.
