How it compares
- Crime: 4.4× the typical Leicester neighbourhood
- Crime: at least 5× the typical England & Wales neighbourhood
Recorded crime in this neighbourhood compared with the typical (median) neighbourhood in Leicester 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.
