Introduction to Tyrone's crime statistics
This crime profile provides a detailed view of crime and safety around Tyrone up to April 2026, the most recent data release available. The crime figures and statistics have been calculated across each of Tyrone's 2,635 postcodes using three area sizes for comparison:
- Within a Five-Minute Walk
- Within a Ten-Minute Walk
- Within a Fifteen-Minute Walk
Individual crime risk scores and index figures are for the 12-month period ending April 2026 unless otherwise stated.
Crime Risk Scores
Tyrone • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within Tyrone has a crime risk score of 362. This is based on analysis of 2,635 nearby areas within Tyrone, 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 Tyrone's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Tyrone, crime risk scores are typically around 362, while in Northern Ireland they are average 344.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 296 (306 for Northern Ireland), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 250 (Northern Ireland 270).
Trends in Crime Risk
Tyrone
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.
No trend could be found in Tyrone's crime risk scores over the last 10 years, and the trend may well be static.
Looking at the previous five years, the trend in Tyrone's crime risk score is down by 10%. While potentially a good indicator of the overall risk trend, cross-referencing with major cultural events and Covid's impact during this time is advised.
Over the last year, Tyrone's crime risk score has shown a downward trend of approximately 10%, indicating that the risk profile is going down. This is an extremely short time period for crime trend analysis, and caution should be exercised when interpreting this figure.

The Tyrone Streets With The Highest Crime Counts
Each police crime report that CrimeRate receives has a street name automatically assigned to it by the police data team, and this table uses the coordinates to count crimes, rather than the street name alone. That way, if Tyrone has multiple identical street names - which is not unusual - they will be treated separately by CrimeRate's systems.
