Crime Risk Scores
North End • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within North End has a crime risk score of 473. This is based on analysis of 2 nearby areas within North End, 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 North End's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.

Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 506 (546 for Barnet), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 548 (Barnet 588).

The 10-year trend indicates a decrease of 11% in North End's crime risk score. This is potentially a strong signal of how the crime risk is evolving. Cross-referencing with major cultural events and Covid's impact during this time is advised.
