What the crime map shows

Every area page is built from official street-level crime on data.police.uk. Here is what is included and, just as importantly, what is not.

What's included

Total recorded crimes

Street-level crimes recorded near the area in the latest available month

Category breakdown

Violence, anti-social behaviour, burglary, vehicle crime and the rest, by Home Office category

Recent trend

The monthly total over the last six months, so you can see the direction

Area context

How the latest month compares to the area's own recent average

What's not included

Exact addresses: crimes are snapped to anonymised map points, never a single property

Outcomes or convictions for individual reports

Unreported crime: only crimes reported to and recorded by the police appear

Police Scotland areas, because Scotland is not on the data.police.uk API

Why crime data matters

Crime is one of the first things people check about an area, but the headline number on its own can mislead.

For buyers

Before you offer, check whether an area's recorded crime is rising or falling, and what kind of crime dominates. A busy city-centre outcode records more crime simply because more people pass through it, so context matters more than the headline number.

For renters

Compare a few postcodes side by side. The category breakdown tells you whether an area's crime is mostly anti-social behaviour and shoplifting in a busy high street, or something you would weigh more heavily.

For homeowners

Track your own area's trend over time, and pair it with the sold-price, flood and ground-stability picture for the full risk profile that affects value, insurance and saleability.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check crime by postcode?
Enter any England or Wales address or postcode on HouseCheckup, or open the area page for an outcode below. We pull official street-level crime from data.police.uk for the area and show the total, the category breakdown and the recent monthly trend. The data covers England and Wales (plus the British Transport Police).
Where does the crime data come from?
From data.police.uk, the official Home Office service that publishes street-level crime for the 43 forces of England and Wales and the British Transport Police, under the Open Government Licence. Each crime is snapped to one of a fixed set of anonymised map points near where it happened, so figures describe an area rather than an exact address.
How up to date is the crime data?
data.police.uk publishes monthly, typically with a one-to-two-month lag while forces submit and the Home Office processes the data. Each area page shows the newest month the API had on the last refresh, plus the months before it as a trend.
Does more recorded crime mean an area is dangerous?
Not on its own. Recorded crime reflects footfall, reporting rates and policing as well as underlying offending. High-footfall city centres and transport hubs record more crime because more people are there. Read the category breakdown and the trend, and treat a single month as a small sample.
Why isn't there any crime data for my postcode?
If your postcode is in Scotland it will not be covered, because Police Scotland is not on the data.police.uk API. For new, very sparsely populated or offshore outcodes the API can also return nothing for the representative point. In those cases we say so honestly and link you to the official source rather than show a fabricated figure.

Still have a question? We typically respond within 24 hours.
