How to Read This

Designed for travel planning, not certainty.

  • Recent street-level incidents within the selected radius are weighted by category.
  • Violence, robbery, weapons and burglary carry higher weight than lower-severity categories.
  • A stable neighbourhood baseline from the official English Indices of Deprivation crime domain anchors the score.
  • Dense central visitor areas are normalized so footfall does not automatically imply danger.
  • Improving recent trend slightly lifts the score; a rising trend lowers it.
  • The score is indicative and based only on public recorded crime data, not a guarantee of personal safety.
