Biggest movers

Precincts with 200+ reported crimes and a five-year figure only — smaller precincts, stations opened in 2018/19 or later, stations that appear to have lost area to a new neighbour, and (in the one-year view) stations next to one that opened in the last two years are excluded. Ranked by absolute crime count change to avoid misleading percentage swings from low-volume precincts. See all precincts below.
