That compares with 88.1 per 1,000 people across the CV postcode area.
In August 2026 alone, 673 cases of crime and anti-social behaviour were recorded in CV2.
In the 12 months to August 2026, the most common types were violence and sexual offences (3,416), other crime (1,123) and vehicle crime (597).
A year earlier, the recorded crime rate in CV2 was 109.9 per 1,000 people.

Rates are per resident, so places that many people work in or visit, such as Westminster, the City of London and other city centres, have far higher rates than their residents alone would suggest.
