Safety.
Police Scotland does not publish street-level crime data on data.police.uk, so Dundee City reports leave out the safety block rather than estimate it.
Road safety.
Injury collisions reported to the police in Dundee City each year, 2021–2025: 230 of them with a serious or fatal injury.
Counts include only collisions involving personal injury that were reported to the police. Most happen on main roads and at junctions, so a count near a postcode reflects the traffic passing through, not the risk of any one journey.

Food hygiene.
Food businesses in Dundee City with a published hygiene rating.
In Scotland, council food safety officers either pass a business or tell it that improvement is required. A result reflects the hygiene standards found on the day of inspection, not the quality of the food.
