  • Summed across all 199 LSOAs in Dudley.
  • Last 12 complete months (no partial month).
  • Category breakdown is not shown for area-wide mode (LSOA-level data provides totals only).
2) Area rate (crimes per 1,000 residents)
  • Crimes and population summed across all LSOAs in the local authority.
  • Rate = (total crimes ÷ total population) × 1,000.

3) Crime level badge (Below → Well above England average)

  • Around England average — 80%–120%
  • Above England average — 120%–160%
