How it compares

  • Crime: at least 5× the typical Birmingham neighbourhood
  • Crime: at least 5× the typical England & Wales neighbourhood

Recorded crime in this neighbourhood compared with the typical (median) neighbourhood in Birmingham and in England & Wales, over the last 12 months. Neighbourhoods here are official statistics areas (LSOAs) of broadly similar population, roughly 1,500 residents each, so this is a like-for-like comparison but not a per-resident rate. Very high multiples usually come from busy town centres, stations or nightlife areas with few residents, where crowds of visitors push recorded crime well above what residents alone would. There the count shows how busy the area is; it is not a per-resident rate or a measure of risk to people who live here.

This is coverage — what networks can reach premises — not the speed any one home gets. Ofcom has no figures for this exact postcode, so only council and national figures are shown. Ofcom does not publish full fibre per postcode, so that figure is for the whole council area. "Below the USO" means a premises cannot get a decent connection (10 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload) from a fixed line or fixed wireless network.

Bands are for the neighbourhood (LSOA, roughly 1,500 residents), not one street or home. The Valuation Office Agency rounds counts to the nearest 10 and does not publish very small counts (shown as –). Charges are council-wide averages including parish and adult social care precepts; a home’s bill depends on its band, its parish and any discounts.
