NE19 Postcode Area

Northumberland

About the NE19 Area

The NE19 postcode district covers a large, sparsely populated area of rural Northumberland in North East England. It includes the village of Otterburn, well known for the historic Battle of Otterburn (1388), and stretches into the vast Kielder Forest — the largest working forest in England. The area also borders Kielder Water, Northern Europe's largest man-made lake.

NE19 falls within the Northumbria Police force area. Due to its very low population density and remote, rural character, police.uk does not publish neighbourhood-level crime boundaries here. As a result, granular crime statistics are not available for this postcode district.

Rural areas like NE19 typically experience very low crime rates compared to urban centres. The most commonly reported incidents in the surrounding Northumberland area tend to be anti-social behaviour, criminal damage, and vehicle crime, though all occur at well below the national average.

Why is there no neighbourhood data for NE19?

CrimeSafe UK uses data from police.uk, the official source of street-level crime data in England and Wales. Police.uk maps crime to neighbourhood boundaries defined by each police force. In very rural areas like NE19, these neighbourhood boundaries may not exist or may cover such a large area that the data is not published at the neighbourhood level.

You can still search for crime in this area directly on Northumbria Police's page on police.uk, or check the nearby postcode areas listed above for the closest available neighbourhood crime data.
