We have just updated our residential population to the latest ONS mid-2013 estimates. This applies to;
Parliamentary Constituencies in England and Wales
This also affects our Postcode Data Generator which now has updated numbers for postcodes matched to LSOAs.

A couple of major advances – we now have MSOA daytime population data so you can adjust for the impact of daytime population. See our MSOA page here – to run the report and export the data requires a membership.
Secondly, treatment you can now run reports for LSOA for as many months as you want – i.e. across the whole country for 12 months, 24 etc. and see the crime totals, crime rates and also daytime population crime rates.
More upgrades coming shortly.

We have recently some additional daytime population data to ukcrimestats. We already had it for lower layer super output area and now have it for constituencies and some subdivisions.
If you want an example of why this matters, patient take this example of Manchester City Centre ward, there which has a 5 times greater population in the daytime, than its residential one. With crime rate, you aim to deflate for the impact of population because more people – if it is a crime against a person – creates more victims and opportunities for crime. So when you see figures showing city centres having the highest crime rates, it’s almost always because they have not deflated for the impact of daytime population increases. That means that someone present in a given area is in fact less likely to to be affected by crime relative to the standard residential population size because the daytime population is, in this case, so much bigger.
It is even more profound in Westminster, where the population can rise 7 or more times during the day – like in the constituency of the Cities of London and Westminster, Mark Field MP’s constituency. So instead of ranking 1 for crime by constituency between Jan – Dec 2014 by crime rate calculated by residential population, by daytime population, it ranks 421 out of the 573 we have (none for Scotland, Northern Ireland coming soon).

We recently ran the January 2015 update and found one really odd bit;
http://www.ukcrimestats.com/Neighbourhood/5948 – this neighbourhood in Wales where crime went from a monthly average of 1 to 340 !
We are confident that the data as released says this, no rx as it does on police.uk http://www.police.uk/north-wales/GSW09/ but it’s either wrong or there was a major event there that I’m unaware of. So if anyone knows, store please email us and let us know and we will publish an update.
Secondly, we have just done some exciting upgrades to the Postcode Data Generator.
Now you can match postcodes to Workplace Zones and 1 mile radius counts of crimes from a postcode centroid. Take a look at it here

Workplace Zones arguably are in some ways better than Lower Layer Super Output Areas as they are smaller and there are more of them, about 50,000 compared to 34,000.

We have recently added a major new dimension to UKcrimeStats – daytime and residential populations and even hectares and population densities for all the subdivisions and constituencies except County Council wards.
If you want an example of why this matters, check take this example of Manchester City Centre ward, which has a 5 times greater population in the daytime, than its residential one. With crime rate, you aim to deflate for the impact of population because more people – if it is a crime against a person – creates more victims and opportunities for crime. So when you see figures showing city centres having the highest crime rates, it’s almost always because they have not deflated for the impact of daytime population increases. That means that someone present in a given area is in fact less likely to to be affected by crime relative to the standard residential population size because the daytime population is, in this case, so much bigger.

We are growing our data portfolio for you. Whenever you now look up a postcode, it is automatically linked to energy consumption data on a sister site of UKCrimeStats – the energy postcode app of Future Energy Strategies. Basically, we have postcode centroids matched to 4 years of annual gas and electricity consumption by lower layer super output areas in England and Wales.
More to come.
