Safety

How crime here compares to the England + Wales average. The raw rate per 1,000 residents per year is shown alongside for reference.

How crime is measured

What's counted. Incidents recorded by territorial police forces and published to data.police.uk each month. Rates use the latest 12 months of data divided by the area's mid-2024 ONS resident population — so the figure is reported incidents per 1,000 residents per year.

Anti-social behaviour is the largest category in most areas and is worth reading carefully — it's a community-reports bucket (noise, rowdiness, nuisance), not "crime" in the legal sense. ASB and shoplifting are weighted lower than violent offences in the safety score on each page.

Caveats. The denominator is residents, so workday and tourist destinations can look worse than they feel for someone living there. Greater Manchester forces stopped publishing to data.police.uk in 2020, so figures for those areas are intentionally blank rather than misleadingly low.

Economic activity (Census 2021)

ILO unemployment 8.6% · 16+ residents

ILO unemployment rate: 8.6% · 79% economically active — Unemployed as a share of the economically active population (employed + job-seeking), matching the ONS Labour Force Survey definition. Inactive residents are excluded from the denominator.

Employed72%Unemployed7%Inactive21%

Census 2021 TS066: all residents aged 16+ split into three non-overlapping groups. Inactive covers students, retirees, full-time carers and the long-term sick — together these bars always sum to 100%. The ILO unemployment rate above strips out inactive residents, giving a figure comparable to the national headline rate.
