Introduction to White City's crime statistics

Crime Risk Scores
White City • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within White City has a crime risk score of 629. This is based on analysis of 271 nearby areas within White City, 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 White City's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in White City, crime risk scores are typically around 629, while in Hammersmith and Fulham they are average 554.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 712 (646 for Hammersmith and Fulham), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 777 (Hammersmith and Fulham 712).

The 10-year trend indicates a decrease of 19% in White City'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.
Looking at the previous five years, the trend in White City's crime risk score is up by 3.1%. While potentially a good indicator of the overall risk trend, analysis may offer further insight when combined with the checks mentioned above.
