The absence of violent incidents is notable, as is the concentration of property-related offences.

About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Neighbourhood boundaries: Defined by the upstream open-data source and may shift year-to-year, so direct comparisons over time can be affected by boundary changes.
Small counts are volatile: A neighbourhood with single-digit incidents one period and zero the next is not necessarily safer; it’s the sampling noise of small numbers.
Data window: 2026-04-07 to 2026-06-06.
