Residential Safety

–

Residential

This is a commercial / transport hub with few residents — recorded incidents include visitors and workers, so a per-resident rate and safety score would be misleading. Raw incident counts are shown below.

Crime figures are recorded by incident location and include offences involving commuters and visitors, not just residents, so the per-resident crime rates below may overstate the risk for people who live here.
