Checking a specific address in S40?
A district covers many streets, and published records rarely spread evenly across it.
A neighbourhood report maps where records
cluster in the fixed 0.5 km around one exact postcode, with the category mix, the
multi-year trend, and comparisons against the wider force and England and Wales.
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.
- Full detail is on the methodology page and in
what a postcode district crime page shows.
