I’ve written about this before but it’s worth pointing out again. There are real shortcomings in trying to compare different areas by crime rate. It really doesn’t give you a clear picture and leads to huge distortions. So what is crime rate again you say? Crime rate is measured by the number of crimes in […]
As someone who had items stolen from his car recently – I left it open and my prescription glasses and cheap scratched sunglasses were taken – I wanted to know more about it and if the hotspots had changed in the last 10 years. To answer this question, I decided to measure it using total […]

We’re always adding features to UKCrimeStats – here’s another one. I would immodestly suggest that for individual postcodes, this is one of the best sources of data there is. So with a random generated postcode, here is an example of what each page offers; http://www.ukcrimestats.com/Postcode/HP157NS Population Males Females Households Links to energy data for the […]
A wide range of indicators like wages, patents, and R&D employment increase with the population of cities. This behaviour is often referred to as urban scaling. The interesting aspect of urban scaling is that it does not follow a straight line, but rather increases exponentially. This acceleration is similar to compound interest. In some cases, […]
