Where records cluster in BT74

Published street-crime records in BT74, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

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.
