Where records cluster in BT4

Published street-crime records in BT4, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

Records by part of BT4: the south-west 1,346, the west 689, the south 194, the north-east 190, the south-east 123, the centre 51, the east 45, the north-west 41.

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 BT4's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT4'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 BT4 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT4 on the crime map.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT4 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
