TA1 crime rate and statistics
The TA1 postcode district, in the TA (Taunton) postcode area.
Updated October 2026.
Police published 6,667 street-crime records for TA1 from September 2025 to August 2026. That is 9.9% more than in the 12 months before. The rate is 158.3 per 1,000 residents counted in the Census 2021, against 113.1 for Avon and Somerset Police. A residents-only rate reads high where many people visit.

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.
TA1
158.3
Avon and Somerset Police
113.1
6,667 records and 42,110 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 TA1
Records by part of TA1: the north-east 2,844, the north 1,530, the east 1,074, the west 699, the north-west 306, the south-east 174, the south-west 98, the south 41, the centre 9.
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 TA1's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and TA1'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 TA1 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore TA1 on the crime map.

Is TA1 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for TA1 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 556 records a month. The busiest month was October 2025, with 638.
Records here changed by +9.9% on the 12 months before, against +3.5% across the Avon and Somerset Police area, the main force here with 99.9% of TA1's records, over the same months.
Violence and sexual offences is the largest category, at 38.1% 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 TA1 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 42,110 Census 2021 residents of TA1.
England: English Indices of Deprivation 2025
Of these residents in England, 11.9% live in the most deprived 20% of England's neighbourhoods and 31.6% in the least deprived 20%.

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.

Schools and colleges
17 open establishments with a postcode in TA1, from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register. Edition: extract of 29 Oct 2026.
Postcodes in England with properties in each band (Environment Agency), counted by the highest long-term risk band of any property in the postcode. Postcodes not listed have no property in a rivers-and-sea risk area, and postcodes outside England are not covered. Risk applies to the area around an address, not the address itself. Surface-water risk is not published by postcode. Edition: NaFRA2, revised 18 Jun 2026.
