Official UK police crime data by postcode, including crime types, locations, and outcomes

This method returns total crime rates, crime rates by crime types, area ratings by total crime, and area ratings by crime type for small areas (Lower Layer Super Output Areas, or LSOAs) and Local Authority Districts (LADs). The results are determined by the inclusion of the submitted postcode/coordinates/UPRN within the corresponding LSOA or LAD.

All figures are annual (for the last 12 months).

The crime rates are calculated per 1,000 resident population derived from the census 2021.

The dataset is updated on a monthly basis, with a 3-month lag between the current date and the most recent data.

Visit the interactive Crime Mapping Tool and prepare your own tailored crime report showing the latest maps, graphs and data on crimes, victims and offenders in NSW LGAs, suburbs or postcodes.

*Note: prior to June 2021 there were three additional crime tools available providing data for Local Government Areas on crime trends, crimes by premises and LGA crime rankings. These tools are no longer supported; this information is available in the Crime Mapping Tool.

Police recorded crime figures by Police Force Area and Community Safety Partnership areas (which equate in the majority of instances, to local authorities).

The Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) is responsible for processing, analysing and publishing Victorian crime statistics, independent of Victoria Police.

The CSA aims to provide an efficient and transparent information service to assist and inform policy makers, researchers and the Victorian public.

The legal basis for the Crime Statistics Agency is the Crime Statistics Act 2014, which provides for the publication and release of crime statistics, research into crime trends, and the employment of a Chief Statistician for that purpose.

Under the provisions of the Act, the Chief Statistician is empowered to receive law enforcement data from the Chief Commissioner of Police and is responsible for publishing and releasing statistical information relating to crime in Victoria.

The Crime Statistics Agency releases quarterly and annual crime data at four geographical levels; State, Police region, Local Government Area (LGA), and Postcode.

Open Postcode Geo is a postcode dataset and API optimised for geocoding applications. You can use Open Postcode Geo to geocode a dataset, geocode user input, and therefore build a proximity search.

Data is derived from the ONS (Office for National Statistics) postcode database and is free to use, subject to including attributions to ONS, OS (Ordinance Survey) and Royal Mail.

Information is also provided on a range of topics, including education, health, crime, business, etc.

Postcodes can be entered at area, district, sector, and unit level - see Postcode map for the geographical relationship between these.

This dataset provides detailed information on the 2019 Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) for Birmingham, UK. The data is available at the postcode level and includes the Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) information.Data is provided at the LSOA 2011 Census geography.The decile score ranges from 1-10 with decile 1 representing the most deprived 10% of areas while decile 10 representing the least deprived 10% of areas.The IMD rank and decile score is allocated to the LSOA and all postcodes within it at the time of creation (2019).Note that some postcodes cross over LSOA boundaries. The Office for National Statistics sets boundaries for LSOAs and allocates every postcode to one LSOA only: this is the one which contains the majority of residents in that postcode area (as at 2011 Census).

The English Indices of Deprivation 2019 provide a detailed analysis of relative deprivation across small areas in England. The Crime Deprivation dataset is a key component of this index, measuring the risk of personal and material victimization at the local level. This dataset includes indicators such as recorded crimes for violence, burglary, theft, and criminal damage. It helps identify areas with high levels of crime, guiding policy interventions and resource allocation to improve safety and reduce crime rates.
