Safety.

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

Road safety.

Injury collisions reported to the police in West Dunbartonshire each year, 2021–2025: 119 of them with a serious or fatal injury.

202143
202239
202355

202556

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.
