How we calculate this

This card shows crime statistics aggregated across the entire local authority area (Dudley).

1) Area-wide incidents
  • Area-wide view aggregates crimes and population across all LSOAs in the local authority.
  • Police-recorded incidents from UK Police (police.uk).
  • 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.
  • England comparison uses the same LSOA-based method nationally.
3) Crime level badge (Below → Well above England average)
  • Below England average — ≤ 80% of the England & Wales average
  • Around England average — 80%–120%
  • Above England average — 120%–160%
  • Well above England average — > 160%

The badge is based on the ratio of the neighbourhood rate to the England & Wales average for the same 12-month period.
