Crime in every neighbourhood in England, mapped from police records

Balworth shows how much crime is recorded in each of England's 32,844 neighbourhoods, by type, and how it compares with the rest of the country — alongside house prices, deprivation and who lives there. It paints all 32,844 neighbourhoods in England — Lower Layer Super Output Areas on 2011 boundaries — from published official statistics. Each colour ranks an area of about 1,500 people against every other area in England, in tenths: green ranks better, rose ranks worse. No figure on Balworth is calculated for a single street or address.

The layers

• Crime — twelve rolling months of street-level records from data.police.uk: overall severity, weighted by how seriously the courts treat each offence so one robbery counts far more than one shoplifting, and separately violence, burglary, theft, vehicle crime, anti-social behaviour and drugs. Recorded crime is crime reported to and recorded by police, not crime committed.
• Deprivation — the Indices of Deprivation 2025 from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, overall and across all seven domains: income, employment, education, health, crime, barriers to housing and services, and living environment.
• House prices — the median price actually paid in each neighbourhood, from HM Land Registry via the ONS, alongside affordability against local earnings.
• Community — Census 2021 at full resolution: age, household composition, faith, country of birth, qualifications and tenure.
• Air and traffic — modelled background concentrations of fine particles from Defra, and road traffic counts from the Department for Transport.
• Places — 76,000+ stations, schools, GP surgeries, parks and more, from OpenStreetMap.

Everything on Balworth is free and needs no account: every layer, every place, and up to ten neighbourhood lookups a day. England Pro removes that daily limit for £4.99 a month.
