The FY6 postcode district, in the FY (Blackpool) postcode area.

Updated October 2026.

Police published 1,878 street-crime records for FY6 from September 2025 to August 2026. That is 5.4% fewer than in the 12 months before. The rate is 65.2 per 1,000 residents counted in the Census 2021, against 110.7 for Lancashire Constabulary. A residents-only rate reads high where many people visit. Police locations are approximate.

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.

1,878 records and 28,799 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 FY6

Published street-crime records in FY6, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons © OpenStreetMap contributors, openstreetmap.org/copyright

Records by part of FY6: the south 797, the south-west 482, the north 271, the south-east 63, the east 63, the north-east 62.

North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 280 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of FY6's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and FY6'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 FY6 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore FY6 on the crime map.

Is FY6 safe?

We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for FY6 from September 2025 to August 2026.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in FY6 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.

Deprivation where residents live

Covers 100.0% of the 28,799 Census 2021 residents of FY6.

England: English Indices of Deprivation 2025

Of these residents in England, 0.5% live in the most deprived 20% of England's neighbourhoods and 42.3% in the least deprived 20%.

Share of residents in each decile, from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived) of England's small areas.

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.
