The leading crime and postcode data research and analysis platform
A guest post by Quention Hanley: Roughly two years ago, we pointed out a key feature of crime: its tendency to accelerate as population density increases. This type of behaviour has been observed many times in many parts of the world. The features of cities and urban regions that increase opportunity for crime also accelerate […]
So we have been querying the Land Registry price paid data using our – where can I afford to live? – app and here is a listing going on sales price of where the cheapest postcode districts have been in England and Wales over the last 24 months. Here are the results and a listing […]
So I’m quite excited to tell you about some improvements we have made to the free to use app – where can I afford to live? – which is here. You can now specify not only the area type (e.g. postcode sector, middle super output area etc.) and your budget range, but now the type […]
As always, property transactions take a little while to filter through on the Land Registry, so we expect the number of listed transactions at 30,867 for September to double. As a rule, we refresh every month since the beginning of the year to ensure we capture every late addition. If you look at the history, […]
I was recently quite inspired by the story of a religious community – Orthodox Jews – and their quest to find affordable housing in the UK, moving from North London to Canvey Island where big homes for larger families are affordable. You may think the UK property market is super expensive but the truth is there are still […]
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 […]
We have just updated the latest price paid data from the Land Registry and matched it to every shape so you can run reports and compare areas and prices over different time periods as well as geolocate specific properties. One of the areas I’ve been watching closely is London – full page of sales here. […]
This took us a while longer to sort out. There is an interesting new category in the property price data which dates back to 1999 – it is called “other”. What it actually pertains to is commercial property or at least “non-residential” whereas all the other property transactions are for housing. There are actually very […]
As always, a word of caution, the last month’s sales – property prices paid in England and Wales – are typically at least 50% missing – see here http://ukcrimestats.com/PropertySales/NationalPicture#Totals – so we would fully expect when we have the next month’s data to see May’s figures revised from 23,371 up to the 50-80k range. Please note […]
