Is SO1 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for SO1 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 737 records a month. The busiest month was August 2026, with 950.
Records here changed by +2.8% on the 12 months before, against +1.4% across the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary area, the main force here with 99.9% of SO1's records, over the same months.
Violence and sexual offences is the largest category, at 35.5% 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 SO1 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.
