Read this first
These are counts, not rates. data.police.uk street-level crime API publishes how many crimes were recorded near a point; it publishes no population figure to divide by. A district with a station, shops and bars will record more crime than a residential one because more people pass through it, not necessarily because residents are more likely to be a victim. Recorded crime is also only crime that was reported and recorded, and reporting rates vary by crime type and by area.
Use this to see the shape of a city and to prompt better questions, not to decide that one district is good and another bad.

If you plan to sell, treat the table as something your buyer will open on their phone, and prepare a straight answer about your street.
Sell houseA buyer’s best use of this table is to frame questions: violent crime was 39% of what police recorded, so ask whether it is common on the road itself.
Go in person at different hours, check the police’s street-level map for the exact postcode, and leave disclosure questions to your conveyancer.
