All postcodes now with 0.5 and 0.25 mile radius crime calculations

Today, most Britons live at relatively high population density in an urban environment and don’t move around that much on foot from where they live or work. A mile can actually cover very different neighbourhoods or include hotspots that may have little bearing on your immediate environment. That’s why we realised that we needed to add […]

Property prices now updated to May 2015

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 […]

Some of the features of our property price database

We will shortly have May 2015 data uploaded for property prices. One of the things we’ve noticed by the way with property data is the latest month is always incomplete – see here http://ukcrimestats.com/PropertySales/NationalPicture#Totals . Basically, the latest month is always less than 50% complete. And the previous few months are often heavily revised, the earlier […]

Crime data now updated to May 2015

Property data for May 2015 will be updated shortly too. We’ve also fixed a couple of bugs that creeped in; i) http://ukcrimestats.com/LSOA/ – the report and export generating function is now working flawlessly ii) http://ukcrimestats.com/MembersArea/Analysis/ (only visible to subscribers) – this page which allows users to see which Police Force all the way down to subdivision, postcode […]

We have just updated our residential population to the latest ONS mid-2013 estimates. This applies to; LSOAS MSOAS Parliamentary Constituencies in England and Wales and Wards This also affects our Postcode Data Generator which now has updated numbers for postcodes matched to LSOAs.

January 2015 updated and Postcode Data Generator Upgrades

We recently ran the January 2015 update and found one really odd bit; http://www.ukcrimestats.com/Neighbourhood/5948 – this neighbourhood in Wales where crime went from a monthly average of 1 to 340 ! We are confident that the data as released says this, as it does on police.uk http://www.police.uk/north-wales/GSW09/ but it’s either wrong or there was a major […]

The importance of weighting for daytime population

We have recently some additional daytime population data to ukcrimestats. We already had it for lower layer super output area and now have it for constituencies and some subdivisions. If you want an example of why this matters, take this example of Manchester City Centre ward, which has a 5 times greater population in the […]
