6483 incidents total over 3 months — averages 2161.0/month, which is what the day/night scores below are based on.

Data completeness: full months, real administrative boundary — 6483 recorded incidents total across 3 months (2026-05–2026-07), queried against Barking and Dagenham's actual ONS 2021 polygon outline (the same shape shown on the map above), not an approximate circle. This is the complete monthly response from the UK Police API for each month in that window. Day score: 2.3387 weighted incidents/1,000 people, averaged over the last 3 months (92% of the 33-area average). Night score: 14.2689 weighted incidents/1,000 people, same window (113% of the 33-area average). Both are normalised by plain 2021 resident population (218,900) — no separate workday/footfall figure exists for Barking and Dagenham in the ONS's 2011 workday-population release (the most recent one published), so no correction is applied here (ratio 1.0) rather than guessing one. This means Barking and Dagenham's score may be slightly overstated relative to boroughs where a real commuter/footfall correction could be applied — see methodology. Rated against the average of the 33 areas currently on the automated pipeline — 32 boroughs and the City of London.

Frequently asked questions

Is Barking and Dagenham safe?

Based on real, current UK Police data, Wandroz rates Barking and Dagenham as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in London during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in London at night, relative to the other London boroughs currently on the automated pipeline. The rating comes from 6483 recorded incidents over 3 months (2026-05 to 2026-07), split into a day-weighted score (property crime) and a night-weighted score (violence, robbery, antisocial behaviour).

Is Barking and Dagenham safe at night?

Barking and Dagenham's night score is roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in London, based on the categories most relevant after dark (violence, robbery, street theft, public order, antisocial behaviour), normalised by an estimated workday/footfall population rather than plain residents where that data exists, so busy central boroughs aren't overstated as riskier just for having fewer official residents.

What official data is Barking and Dagenham's rating based on?

6483 recorded incidents from data.police.uk (the UK Police's official open crime API), queried against Barking and Dagenham's real administrative boundary and covering 3 months (2026-05 to 2026-07) — recomputed from the source data whenever the Met publishes new months, not a one-off snapshot.
