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.
Up to 12 months of history are averaged with recency decay, so one unusual month does not swing the score.
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.
