Data investigation
Police.uk crime data for 22,940 school locations — from under 10 incidents per month in rural areas to over 4,000 in central London.
Recorded crimes per month within ~1 mile of each school.
Lowest recorded crime within a ~1 mile radius. Every card leads with its Overall Score.
Most recorded crime — typically dense urban centres with high footfall, not necessarily danger to students.
Crime data is sourced from Police.uk's street-level crime API. Each school's coordinates are used to query crimes within approximately 1 mile. Schools in the same 2.2km grid cell share the same crime figure to reduce API load while maintaining geographic accuracy. Figures represent a single month's data — the latest available from Police.uk.
