Where records cluster in BT74
Records by part of BT74: the east 1,008, the north-east 320, the south-east 86, the north 21, the south-west 15, the north-west 12, the west 9, the south 6, the centre 2.
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 BT74's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT74'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 BT74 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT74 on the crime map.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT74 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
