These are neutral official statistics. Recorded-crime rates reflect reporting and recording practices and an area's daytime and visitor population as well as underlying offending — they are context, not a measure of how safe an area is, and say nothing about its residents. Use them alongside a visit, local knowledge and other factors when deciding where to live.
