Ever wondered about the crime rate in your UK postcode? You're not alone. We've dug deep into the data, uncovering trends and patterns that'll make your head spin.

SOCIAL GRADES
According to census records, 22% of people here have a social grade of AB (highest), compared to the national average of 27%.
