Crime Risk Scores
Temple Mills • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within Temple Mills has a crime risk score of 662. This is based on analysis of 409 nearby areas within Temple Mills, 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 Temple Mills's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Temple Mills, crime risk scores are typically around 662, while in Newham they are average 646.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 787 (755 for Newham), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 823 (Newham 812).
