Safety

How safe is Belle Vue & West Gorton?

Safety scores 100/100 against the national distribution, with police-recorded crime running 242.8× safer than the national average (0.4 per 1,000 residents per year). Crime metrics for Greater Manchester are not published to data.police.uk following GMP's 2020 iOPS migration. The displayed crime score is a proxy derived from the IMD 2019 Crime Domain (national percentile rank, inverted). Treat as indicative only.

ContextRates are per resident. As a major workday and tourist destination, the daytime population here is much larger than the resident base — so the per-resident figure overstates a typical resident's exposure.

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.

How these ratings are built

Each persona has its own scoring model. We pick the metrics that group actually optimises for, then weight and curve them so realistic trade-offs are reflected — a great score in one factor can't fully paper over a poor score in another. Weights sum to 100 before any synergy bonuses.

Families

Families consistently prioritise schooling and a safe, settled neighbourhood, so those two factors carry the most weight and use a convex curve — mediocre values are penalised more than a simple average would suggest. A bonus is applied where good schools and low crime coincide.

Good+ schools within 2 km28%
Crime / safety score22%
Households with children15%
Greenspace proximity15%
Owner-occupation rate10%
Family-age population10%

Young professionals

Young professionals optimise for commute, connectivity and being around peers. Transport gets the largest single weight; broadband uses a concave curve so any decent gigabit coverage counts, and a bonus applies in well-connected, graduate-heavy areas (the classic urban knowledge-hub signal).

Gigabit broadband coverage18%
Degree-educated adults14%
Crime / safety score12%
Private-rental availability7%

Couples

Couples without children weight liveability and day-to-day quality highest. Rent is on a sigmoid curve with a steep cliff between £800 and £1,400/month, reflecting how affordability flips from comfortable to stretched across that range. A bonus applies where the area is both safe and walkable.

EPC energy efficiency10%
25–49 population share8%

Retirees

Retirees prioritise healthcare proximity, walkable greenspace and a settled neighbourhood with peers in the same life stage. GP and hospital distance are the largest weights — both use exponential drop-offs because needing care 5 km away is much worse than 1 km away, regardless of how many other amenities are nearby.

Investors / BTL

Buy-to-let investors weight pure financial signals: yield, capital growth, tenant demand, supply pipeline and area job-growth. Crime and amenities only matter as far as they protect the tenant pool. Yield uses a sigmoid that rewards the realistic 4–7% band; pipeline penalises areas with heavy new-build supply that will pressure future rents.

Solo renters

Solo renters and students optimise for flexibility — depth of private-rental supply, peers in the same life stage and frictionless transit. Cost matters but the curve is gentler than for couples (no shared income). A nearby Tube/metro/rail station is heavily weighted because cars are usually off the table for this group.

Working status of 16+ residents (Census 2021)ILO unemployment 11.0% · 55% economically active · 46% inactive

ILO unemployment rate: 11.0% — This uses the same methodology as the ONS Labour Force Survey: unemployment is expressed as a share of the economically active population (employed + job-seeking only), not all 16+ residents. Retirees, students, full-time carers and others who are “inactive” are excluded from the denominator, giving a like-for-like figure to the national headline rate.

Census 2021 TS066. The three bars above share a denominator of all residents aged 16+ and always sum to 100%. "Inactive" covers students, retirees, full-time carers, the long-term sick and anyone not currently seeking work — which is why the raw employed% figure is lower than the LFS employment rate. The ILO unemployment rate above strips out inactive residents and matches the standard definition used in national statistics.

DWP claimant count: 6.1% of working-age (16-64) residents claim Universal Credit while seeking work or Jobseeker's Allowance. This is the live monthly unemployment proxy and is not directly comparable to the Census figures above — it counts a narrower group on a different denominator, but it's the most up-to-date local indicator.
