Where records cluster in BT3
Records by part of BT3: the south-west 233, the north 39, the west 22, the north-west 19, the north-east 8, the south 6.
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 BT3's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT3'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 BT3 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT3 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.
