What this measures

Every row is a published recorded incidents per 100,000 residents observation measured in offences per 100,000, ranked lowest first. The values were observed between 2024 and 2025. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
