Where records cluster in BT7

Published street-crime records in BT7, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

Records by part of BT7: the north 2,606, the north-west 1,673, the south-east 501, the south 208, the east 130, the centre 122, the north-east 54, the south-west 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 BT7's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT7'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 BT7 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT7 on the crime map.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT7 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
