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.

1,236 records and 27,586 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 OX18 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 OX18: the centre 388, the north-east 223, the south-east 212, the east 203, the north 148, the south 97, the north-west 87, the west 10.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 1.2 km across, the size the crime map uses zoomed out, and holds at least one of OX18's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and OX18'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 OX18 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Striped months add only the records that were published.

Is OX18 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for OX18 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 103 records a month. The busiest month was July 2026, with 132.
Records here changed by +6.9% on the 12 months before, against +0.3% across the Thames Valley Police area, the main force here with 97.7% of OX18's records, over the same months.
Violence and sexual offences is the largest category, at 45.0% of records, against 35.5% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in OX18 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 27,586 Census 2021 residents of OX18.

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.
