Crime Risk Scores
Isleworth • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within Isleworth has a crime risk score of 486. This is based on analysis of 2 nearby areas within Isleworth, 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 Isleworth's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Isleworth, crime risk scores are typically around 486, while in Hounslow they are average 570.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 604 (640 for Hounslow), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 700 (Hounslow 690).
Trends in Crime Risk
Isleworth
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.
The 10-year trend indicates a decrease of 18% in Isleworth'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 Isleworth's crime risk score is up by 7%. While potentially a good indicator of the overall risk trend, analysis may offer further insight when combined with the checks mentioned above.
Over the last year, Isleworth's crime risk score has shown an upward trend of approximately 6%, 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.
