Where records cluster in BT46
Records by part of BT46: the south 199, the south-west 88, the north 42, the north-east 36, the south-east 31, the east 24, the west 15, the north-west 5, the centre 3.
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 BT46's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT46'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 BT46 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT46 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.
Figures below come from official open datasets, joined on postcode. Sources are listed on the
