NE7 crime rate and statistics
The NE7 postcode district, in the NE (Newcastle upon Tyne) postcode area.
Updated October 2026.
Police published 873 street-crime records for NE7 from September 2025 to August 2026. That is 21.5% fewer than in the 12 months before. The rate is 58.7 per 1,000 residents counted in the Census 2021, against 104.1 for Northumbria Police. 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.
NE7
58.7
Northumbria Police
104.1
873 records and 14,870 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.
Top crime categories
Share of NE7 records in the same trailing window. The black line on each bar marks the England and Wales share for the same months.
Records by part of NE7: the north 200, the south-west 177, the centre 128, the south 127, the north-west 85, the west 67, the east 59, the north-east 33, the south-east 29.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 270 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of NE7's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and NE7'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 NE7 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore NE7 on the crime map.

Is NE7 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for NE7 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 73 records a month. The busiest month was October 2025, with 105.
Records here changed by -21.5% on the 12 months before, against -11.7% across the Northumbria Police area, the main force here with 99.8% of NE7's records, over the same months. With 873 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Shoplifting is the largest category, at 25.4% of records, against 8.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in NE7 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.
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.
Covers 100.0% of the 14,870 Census 2021 residents of NE7.

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.
