Street-crime records per 1,000 residents

Published street-crime records (including anti-social behaviour), September 2025 to August 2026, per 1,000 usual residents in the Census 2021.

3,159 records and 36,764 residents. Residents-only rates overstate crime where many people visit who do not live there, such as city centres, stations, and retail parks. Residents are counted at March 2021 while records are current, so areas with many newer homes can read higher.

No England and Wales comparison is shown, because not every force involved has published every month of this window.

Rates cover England and Wales only. Residents: Office for National Statistics, Census 2021 postcode estimates, Open Government Licence v3.0. How rates are built.

Where records cluster in DN17

Published street-crime records in DN17, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

Records by part of DN17: the south-east 2,569, the east 1,832, the west 289, the south 165, the centre 79, the north 49, the north-east 20, the north-west 14.

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 DN17's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and DN17'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 DN17 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore DN17 on the crime map.

Is DN17 safe?

We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for DN17 from September 2025 to August 2026.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in DN17 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. The rate per 1,000 residents is above. See the limits to keep in mind.

Highest and lowest published crime rates by postcode district

Deprivation where residents live

Covers 100.0% of the 36,764 Census 2021 residents of DN17.

England: English Indices of Deprivation 2025

Of these residents in England, 30.3% live in the most deprived 20% of England's neighbourhoods and 19.0% in the least deprived 20%.

Share of residents in each decile, from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived) of England's small areas. Shares are rounded, so they may not total 100%.

Deciles rank neighbourhoods within one nation, so English and Welsh deciles don't compare. They describe areas, not the people living in them, and crime is one of the things the index measures, so this mix partly overlaps the crime figures above. How this is built.
