Hampshire Constabulary recorded 188 crimes inside this ward's official boundary over the 3 months to July 2026 — an average of 4.6 per 1,000 residents a month, the 14th highest rate of Portsmouth's 14 wards. The daytime score here is driven by shoplifting (8), vehicle crime (7), drugs (1); the evening/night score by violent crime (21), anti social behaviour (8), public order (4). Those two scores are split by offence type, not by clock time — the police feed records no time of day, so day and night here mean the kinds of crime typical of each, not counts of incidents observed then. Rated against the average of the city's own wards, never against another city.

Frequently asked questions
Is Drayton and Farlington safe?
Wandroz currently rates Drayton and Farlington in Portsmouth as relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Portsmouth, both by day and after dark. This rating is derived from Hampshire Constabulary street-level crime records published at data.police.uk — an official statistic, not an assessment. High-footfall tourist, transit or shopping areas can read higher on this kind of measure without that meaning elevated risk per visit, since these statistics are normalised against registered residents rather than footfall — see the note on this page and the methodology page for the full caveats.
Is Drayton and Farlington safe at night?
At night, Drayton and Farlington is rated as relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Portsmouth. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Drayton and Farlington a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Drayton and Farlington's day rating (relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in Portsmouth) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late.

Is there official crime data for Drayton and Farlington?
