Rate per 1,000Population-normalised comparison
Greater Manchester is excluded. Greater Manchester Police did not provide data throughout the comparison period, so its ten councils cannot be ranked fairly.
City of London needs special care. Rates use resident population, but the City has a very small resident population and a very large daily worker and visitor population. Its rate is therefore not directly comparable with a typical residential council.

Methodology and limitations
Ranking measure
Street-level incidents assigned to LSOAs, aggregated to current councils and divided by the 2025 resident population. Results are shown per 1,000 residents.
Overall crime
The overall measure includes the Police.uk recorded crime categories but excludes anti-social behaviour, which has its own separate ranking.
Comparable coverage
The system automatically selects the newest 24-month window in which all geographic forces except Greater Manchester Police supplied data. British Transport Police is outside this geographic measure.
Location coverage
Police.uk coordinates are anonymised approximate locations. Around 98% of source records contain an LSOA; incidents without an LSOA cannot be assigned to a council.
Source: Police.uk street-level crime and anti-social behaviour data. Population denominator: Office for National Statistics mid-year population estimates via Nomis. Licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
