SA3 crime rate and statistics
The SA3 postcode district, in the SA (Swansea) postcode area.
Updated October 2026.
Police published 1,090 street-crime records for SA3 from September 2025 to August 2026. That is 3.2% fewer than in the 12 months before. The rate is 43.0 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.
September 2025 to August 2026. Street-crime records include anti-social behaviour.

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.
SA3
43.0
South Wales Police
97.9
1,090 records and 25,348 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 SA3
Records by part of SA3: the east 875, the north-east 276, the south-east 117, the west 62, the south-west 34, the north-west 7, the south 7.
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 SA3's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and SA3'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 SA3 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore SA3 on the crime map.

Is SA3 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for SA3 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 91 records a month. The busiest month was August 2026, with 124.
Records here changed by -3.2% on the 12 months before, against +2.7% across the South Wales Police area, the main force here with 99.5% of SA3's records, over the same months.
Violence and sexual offences is the largest category, at 40.6% 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 SA3 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 25,348 Census 2021 residents of SA3.

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