This is a question that needs to be asked because the UK’s approx. 2,500 postcode districts vary massively in size – from 2.33 hectares in London WC1A<\/a> to 85,165 hectares in LD3 in Wales<\/a>. And they vary just as hugely in residential and daytime population. For example, CR0 in Croydon, London has a residential population of 153,812<\/a> and UB11 in Hillingdon has just 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n The answer – I would suggest – it to measure crime or type of crime total per hectare. That is a unique feature to UKCrimeStats. You can run a report and it will show you the top 100 highest\/lowest , total crime, crime rate, crimes per hectare, crime rate per hectare between your choice of dates. To see more than 100 rows – actually all 2,500 postcode districts, just check the box “Export all results to Excel” and it will give you a csv file to look at.
