Each postcode district against every other postcode district the measure covers.

## Is NR31 safe? What police records show

In the 12 months to August 2026, police recorded crimes and anti-social behaviour in NR31 at a rate of 86.4 per 1,000 people.
That compares with 74.0 per 1,000 people across the NR postcode area.
In August 2026 alone, 460 cases of crime and anti-social behaviour were recorded in NR31.
In the 12 months to August 2026, the most common types were violence and sexual offences (1,852), other crime (734) and anti-social behaviour (645).
A year earlier, the recorded crime rate in NR31 was 83.8 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.
