NEW data has revealed the crime hotspots throughout Newport during the past year (2021).
The statistics, from data.police.uk come from more than three million crime reports made nationally between March and August of 2021.
Data.police.uk is the site for open data about crime and policing.
With areas with high populations such as Newport, the data is broken down into LSOAs, rather than simply neighourhoods or wards.
LSOAs (Lower-layer Super Output Areas) are small areas designed to be of a similar population size, with an average of approximately 1,500 residents or 650 households.
