Safety.

Police Scotland does not publish street-level crime data on data.police.uk, so East Dunbartonshire reports leave out the safety block rather than estimate it.

Road safety.

Injury collisions reported to the police in East Dunbartonshire each year, 2021–2025: 90 of them with a serious or fatal injury.

202136
202231
202335

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.
