How it compares

  • Crime: 2.6× the typical Harlow neighbourhood
  • Crime: 3.1× the typical England & Wales neighbourhood

Recorded crime in this neighbourhood compared with the typical (median) neighbourhood in Harlow and in England & Wales, over the last 12 months. Neighbourhoods here are official statistics areas (LSOAs) of broadly similar population, roughly 1,500 residents each, so this is a like-for-like comparison but not a per-resident rate. Areas with busy town centres or stations record more crime because of visitors, not just residents.

This is coverage — what networks can reach premises — not the speed any one home gets. Ofcom has no figures for this exact postcode, so only council and national figures are shown. Ofcom does not publish full fibre per postcode, so that figure is for the whole council area. "Below the USO" means a premises cannot get a decent connection (10 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload) from a fixed line or fixed wireless network.
