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.
Top crime categories
Share of BT70 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 BT70: the east 1,014, the south-east 104, the south-west 73, the north 36, the north-east 24, the south 11, the west 9.
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 BT70's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT70'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 BT70 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT70 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
