Real crime stats and safety scores for every UK neighbourhood, powered by official police data.
Cities are ranked by crimes per neighbourhood in the most recent data month, so larger force areas are not unfairly penalised for having more neighbourhoods.
Neighbourhoods are ranked by total crimes recorded in the most recent data month. Areas with the fewest crimes rank safest; areas with the most rank highest crime.
From raw police records to clear, actionable safety insights, no technical knowledge needed.

Everything you need to know about CrimeRadar and UK crime data.
Ask a questionYes, completely free. CrimeRadar is powered by open government data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. There is no registration, no paywall, and no hidden cost. Crime information should be accessible to everyone.
All data is sourced from the official UK Police Open Data API (data.police.uk), which is operated by the Home Office. It is the same authoritative source used by government agencies and academic researchers. We cache this data locally so our pages load fast and the API is not queried on every visit.
The UK Police publishes new crime data monthly, typically with a 2–3 month lag. For example, October crimes are usually published in December or January. CrimeRadar updates automatically each month when new data is released.
No. Police Scotland operates an entirely separate data system and does not participate in the UK Police Open Data API. CrimeRadar currently covers England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, approximately 92% of the UK population across 44 police forces.
Each neighbourhood is scored 0–100 based on crime frequency relative to similar-sized areas, crime trend direction (rising or falling), category weighting (violent crime is weighted more heavily than bicycle theft), and outcome resolution rates. A score of 100 is the safest possible rating.
CrimeRadar stores 36 months of crime history per neighbourhood. This lets you see whether crime is on a long-term upward or downward trend, not just what happened last month.
Yes, CrimeRadar includes a side-by-side comparison tool. You can compare any two UK neighbourhoods across all 15 crime categories, safety scores, and 36-month trends. This is especially useful when choosing between two properties or postcodes.
Greater Manchester is not currently listed in our rankings or search results because the crime data provided for that force area is incomplete — most neighbourhoods show zero crimes recorded, which would make the area appear artificially safe and mislead users. We have removed it from our rankings until the data is reliable. This is a known limitation with how that force's data is published, not a reflection of actual crime levels in Manchester.
CrimeRadar displays data exactly as published by the police. However, all crime statistics only reflect reported crimes, unreported crime is not captured. Street-level locations are approximate, not exact addresses, to protect privacy. Our safety scores are our own interpretation of the data and should be used as a guide, not an official assessment.
