Locacity analyses official Police.uk crime data to produce independent regional crime rate rankings. All analysis uses ONS Census 2021 population data to calculate crimes per 1,000 residents, and ONS Built-Up Area boundaries to define towns and cities. Data is updated as new Police.uk figures are published.
