Introduction to East Riding of Yorkshire's crime statistics
This crime profile provides a detailed view of crime and safety around East Riding of Yorkshire up to April 2026, the most recent data release available. The crime figures and statistics have been calculated across each of East Riding of Yorkshire's 24,574 postcodes using three area sizes for comparison:

Individual crime risk scores and index figures are for the 12-month period ending April 2026 unless otherwise stated.
Crime Risk Scores
East Riding of Yorkshire • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within East Riding of Yorkshire has a crime risk score of 525. This is based on analysis of 24,574 nearby areas within East Riding of Yorkshire, with "most" referring to roughly two thirds of the nearby locations.
Crime risk scores are on a scale of 1 to 1,000 and consider the severity of the crimes involved, as determined by sentencing guidelines. A score of 1 represents the lowest risk, and 1,000 the highest risk. This approach ensures that - unlike overall crime rate figures - bicycle theft is not given the same importance in East Riding of Yorkshire's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in East Riding of Yorkshire, crime risk scores are typically around 525, while in Yorkshire and The Humber they are average 557.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 511 (551 for Yorkshire and The Humber), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 510 (Yorkshire and The Humber 551).
Trends in Crime Risk
East Riding of Yorkshire
Calculated via Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess, the Seasonality Adjusted line represents the original data with seasonality subtracted, and the Trend line has been plotted unadjusted. Overall trend direction has been identified using the Mann-Kendall trend test, and rate calculated from the slope of the best-fit line identified from linear regression.
No trend could be found in East Riding of Yorkshire's crime risk scores over the last 10 years, and the trend may well be static.
Looking at the previous five years, the trend in East Riding of Yorkshire's crime risk score is up by 7%. While potentially a good indicator of the overall risk trend, cross-referencing with major cultural events and Covid's impact during this time is advised.
Over the last year, East Riding of Yorkshire's crime risk score has shown an upward trend of approximately 2.0%, indicating that the risk profile is going up. This is an extremely short time period for crime trend analysis, and caution should be exercised when interpreting this figure.

The East Riding of Yorkshire Streets With The Highest Crime Counts
Each police crime report that CrimeRate receives has a street name automatically assigned to it by the police data team, and this table uses the coordinates to count crimes, rather than the street name alone. That way, if East Riding of Yorkshire has multiple identical street names - which is not unusual - they will be treated separately by CrimeRate's systems.
