Safety in Hammersmith and Fulham

Crime in Hammersmith and Fulham runs at in line with the national average. Bottom 10% (#301 of 318 cities) The supporting per-1,000-residents-per-year rate is 107.6, averaged across the council area's neighbourhoods.

How crime is measured

What's counted. Incidents recorded by territorial police forces and published to data.police.uk each month. Rates use the latest 12 months of data divided by the area's mid-2024 ONS resident population — so the figure is reported incidents per 1,000 residents per year.

Anti-social behaviour is the largest category in most areas and is worth reading carefully — it's a community-reports bucket (noise, rowdiness, nuisance), not "crime" in the legal sense. ASB and shoplifting are weighted lower than violent offences in the safety score on each page.

Caveats. The denominator is residents, so workday and tourist destinations can look worse than they feel for someone living there. Greater Manchester forces stopped publishing to data.police.uk in 2020, so figures for those areas are intentionally blank rather than misleadingly low.

ContextRates are per resident. As a major workday and tourist destination, the daytime population here is much larger than the resident base — so the per-resident figure overstates a typical resident's exposure.
