Street-crime records per 1,000 residents
Northern Ireland runs its own census, which is not loaded here, so no rate is shown.
Rates cover England and Wales only. Residents: Office for National Statistics, Census 2021 postcode estimates, Open Government Licence v3.0. How rates are built.

Share of BT5 records in the same trailing window. The black line on each bar marks the England and Wales share for the same months.
Records by part of BT5: the north-west 3,479, the north 259, the north-east 249, the west 117, the east 87, the centre 53, the south 8, the south-west 6, the south-east 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 BT5's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT5'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 BT5 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT5 on the crime map.

Is BT5 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for BT5 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 283 records a month. The busiest month was September 2025, with 315.
Records here changed by +1.6% on the 12 months before, against +4.8% across the Police Service of Northern Ireland area over the same months.
Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 30.7% of records, against 15.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT5 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
