## Is FY4 safe? What police records show

In the 12 months to August 2026, police recorded crimes and anti-social behaviour in FY4 at a rate of 139.4 per 1,000 people.
That compares with 133.1 per 1,000 people across the FY postcode area.
In August 2026 alone, 535 cases of crime and anti-social behaviour were recorded in FY4.
In the 12 months to August 2026, the most common types were violence and sexual offences (2,620), anti-social behaviour (1,328) and other crime (964).
A year earlier, the recorded crime rate in FY4 was 156.1 per 1,000 people.
Worked out by Open Index from police.uk crime records and ONS and NISRA population estimates.
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.
