Where to look in Newport
Three short answers to "where should I focus?" in Newport. Each list is filtered from the same neighbourhood data above — the basis of each shortlist is stated above the list so you know what's been weighted.

Highest composite liveability — combines safety, schools, transport access and rental affordability into one 0–100 score (higher = more liveable).
Highest liveability per pound of rent — desirable areas where rent stays close to or below the Newport median.

Safety in Newport
Crime in Newport runs at 46% below the national average. Above median (#107 of 318 cities) The supporting per-1,000-residents-per-year rate is 54.6, averaged across the council area's neighbourhoods.
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.
