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 BT78's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT78'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 BT78 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT78 on the crime map.
