Crime Risk Scores
Green Park • 12 Months Ending June 2022
The typical five-minute walk within Green Park has a crime risk score of 380. This is based on analysis of 3 nearby areas within Green 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 Green Park's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.

Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 477 (761 for Westminster), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 663 (Westminster 804).
