SA2 crime rate and statistics
The SA2 postcode district, in the SA (Swansea) postcode area.
Updated October 2026.
Police published 1,982 street-crime records for SA2 from September 2025 to August 2026. That is 10.7% more than in the 12 months before. The rate is 53.9 per 1,000 residents counted in the Census 2021, against 97.9 for South Wales 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.
SA2
53.9
South Wales Police
97.9
1,982 records and 36,769 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 SA2
Records by part of SA2: the east 3,817, the north-east 658, the centre 101, the south-east 100, the north 58, the west 11, the south 7, the south-west 4.
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 SA2's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and SA2'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 SA2 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore SA2 on the crime map.

Is SA2 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for SA2 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 165 records a month. The busiest month was June 2026, with 191.
Records here changed by +10.7% on the 12 months before, against +2.7% across the South Wales Police area, the main force here with 99.5% of SA2's records, over the same months.
Violence and sexual offences is the largest category, at 39.5% 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 SA2 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 36,769 Census 2021 residents of SA2.

Share of residents in each decile, from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived) of Wales'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.
