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 — 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 — 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.
