Shout out to all the other colour blind people who can’t make head nor tail of any of the data.
Ah yes London, that city the media love to peddle as a crime-riddled hellhole.
For clarity, I assume, for example, the 100%+ means it is the same crime rate as the UK average, not that it is double the UK average.
I didn’t think Greenwich would be so high in violent crime – anyone know the reasoning for it?
Would be interesting to see this with an income / ethnicity overlay as well.
Is that waltham forest at dark red +200% in the east?
Minor crime can be a bit mad though.
I wouldn’t think twice about having my phone out in the big northern city where I’m from. They just don’t get pinched, not a thing.
In London I’m a bit nervous.
please post link to source. Would like to actually be able to read names of each area.
Fun fact . London is a very safe city in terms of major cities around the world but it has more crime per capita than Medellin ( cocaine capital) , Los Angeles and Miami.
That shocked me.
And yet whenever I say London isn’t particularly dangerous (especially if you’re not in a gang) I get downvoted to hell – particularly from people who have never lived here.
*checks address against map*
Ah. Red. All right
Nice map. Would be good with an overlay of boroughs, or a bit of transparency so we can see the base layer. You need a pretty intimate knowledge of London to get much context on the different areas otherwise.
Looks like my band practise is gonna get spicey at some point in Holloway
London’s murder rate was 1.03 per 100,000 last year, the lowest its been for quite some time. We are lower than a lot of western european cities, and 4-5x lower than the USA as a whole. Mississippi and Louisiana by comparison in have a murder rate of 20 per 100,000.
Offences such as knife possession are classed as violent crime, meaning that in many recorded crime cases harm has hopefully not yet occurred to someone. It is one of the most commonly recorded offences in the UK.
Any change someone could overlay the boroughs on this? I can’t work out where I am without those
*hand wave*
There is no crime in Gallions Reach.
Let me guess…. Red areas are where politicians have most of their ‘declared’ properties?
What? Right wingers told me it’s a crime infested place that you can’t walk alone at night in or have a mobile phone.
I’m having a bit of trouble parsing the location in my head, but is the read bit in the north the Tottenham stadium?
Sorry, northerner here, sipping ont’ cuppa tea, just switched the big light on
The tiny bits are city of London right? How come there are small areas of city of London that are bright red, surrounded by green? Where are those places?
Useful map. As a provincial Englishman I can honestly say I haven’t got a clue, but I could easily be pleasantly surprised or horrified depending on where in our capital city you placed me.
I was expecting orange but got green. Guessing my area just has a bad rep…
As a red green colour blind person I hate this.
Look at it, spreading like a cancer….
So the Olympic park is the most violent part of London? Who knew
. Im not even sure it includes Westfield.
This is the big problem with ‘per capita’ stata
Granary square and kings cross are also off the charts for the same reason. And the O2. I bet that the Tottenham one is also heavily driven by white hart lane.
Basically this is a map of areas with weird population density and sradia
