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.

YO15

179.0

Humberside Police

105.2

2,382 records and 13,305 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 YO15

Published street-crime records in YO15, September 2025 to August 2026, grouped into hexagons

Records by part of YO15: the west 2,598, the north-west 320, the north 244, the centre 129, the north-east 109, the south-west 60.

North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 1.1 km across, the size the crime map uses zoomed out, and holds at least one of YO15's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and YO15'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 YO15 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore YO15 on the crime map.

Is YO15 safe?

We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for YO15 from September 2025 to August 2026.

The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in YO15 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.

Deprivation where residents live

Covers 100.0% of the 13,305 Census 2021 residents of YO15.

England: English Indices of Deprivation 2025

Of these residents in England, 42.5% live in the most deprived 20% of England's neighbourhoods and 0.0% 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.
