The newest postcodes

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

New homes among the homes sold

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Berry Hill safe? Crime recorded around it

Police.uk records 301 crimes and reports of anti-social behaviour within a mile of the middle of the postcodes in Berry Hill over the 12 months from February 2025 to January 2026. Gloucestershire Constabulary has published no figures to Police.uk after January 2026, though Police.uk has figures to August 2026 for other forces. These figures run to January 2026, so no month is counted without them. These are counts, not a rate: we hold no count of the people who live, work or pass through, so we do not say whether a place is safe.

Each month, February 2025 to January 2026

By kind, over the 12 months

Also: drugs 2, bicycle theft 1, robbery 1.

Police.uk says its locations "always represent the approximate location of a crime". Each crime is moved to the nearest of a fixed list of map points, each over a street centre, a public place or a commercial premises, chosen so that every point covers at least eight addresses or none. A mile is a wide circle: in a town it takes in the centre and its shops, where much crime is recorded.
