Crime Risk Scores
Horn Park • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within Horn Park has a crime risk score of 510. This is based on analysis of 52 nearby areas within Horn Park, 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 Horn Park's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.

Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 625 (678 for Greenwich), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 690 (Greenwich 733).
