Street-crime records per 1,000 residents
31% of this area's records sit at postcodes created after Census Day 2021, whose residents the census could not count, so no rate is shown.
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 RG31 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 RG31: the north-west 592, the south-west 352, the west 325, the south 260, the north 125, the east 11.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 300 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of RG31's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and RG31'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 RG31 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore RG31 on the crime map.

Is RG31 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for RG31 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 64 records a month. The busiest month was November 2025, with 86.
Records here changed by -12.5% on the 12 months before, against +2.1% across the Thames Valley Police area, the main force here with 99.9% of RG31's records, over the same months. With 773 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Violence and sexual offences is the largest category, at 29.8% 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 RG31 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. 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 28,722 Census 2021 residents of RG31.

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.
