What Solihull crime data isn't

  • Reported, not actual. Many crimes go unreported. The data reflects what reached Police.uk, not the underlying incidence rate.
  • Locations are obfuscated. Each incident is mapped to a snap point within roughly 250 metres of the true location to protect victim privacy.
  • Force-by-force inconsistency. Different police forces classify and record borderline incidents differently. Comparing two areas covered by different forces needs care.
  • Patrol-density bias. Areas with heavier patrol presence record more incidents, partly because more crime is observed and reported.

FAQ

All incidents come from Police.uk, the official open-data feed published by UK police forces. Data is updated monthly. The figures show what was reported and recorded, not necessarily what happened.
Police.uk obfuscates each incident location to a "snap point", typically the centre of the nearest street or a similar landmark within roughly 250 metres. This protects victim privacy. The category and month are accurate; the precise address is intentionally not.
Read them as one signal among many. Anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime are quality-of-life signals. Burglary trends matter for insurance and security. Raw counts reflect both the actual incident rate and how heavily an area is patrolled and reported, so busy commercial streets always look 'worse' than quiet residential ones.
Police.uk publishes about two months in arrears. So crime for January typically appears in March or April. The 12-month window on this page ends with the most recent month available.
