Crime Risk Scores

Nottinghamshire Police • 12 Months Ending April 2026

 

The typical five-minute walk within Nottinghamshire Police has a crime risk score of 471. This is based on analysis of 37,405 nearby areas within Nottinghamshire Police, with "most" referring to roughly two thirds of the nearby locations.

Five Mins
471 crime risk score
Ten Mins
476 crime risk score
Fifteen Mins
488 crime risk score

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 Nottinghamshire Police's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.

Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Nottinghamshire Police, crime risk scores are typically around 471, while in National they are average 500.

Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 476 (500 for National), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 488 (National 500).
