Aldgate has a small residential population (2,719 residents). Crime data is recorded against where crimes occur, but rates are expressed per 1,000 residents. In commercial and mixed-use areas with high daytime footfall the per-1,000 figures will appear much higher than in residential areas. Absolute crime counts are the more useful comparison here.

Security advice for flat or apartments
Flats in purpose-built blocks benefit from a system that covers the front door and any communal access points. Wireless systems are quick to install with minimal disruption to other residents.
For ground-floor and basement flats, window sensors are as important as door sensors. Ensure all accessible windows are covered.
Smart alarm systems without a physical panel box are ideal for rented flats: they require no drilling and can be taken when you move.
