How it compares

  • Crime: 2.2× the typical Rotherham neighbourhood
  • Crime: 2.6× the typical England & Wales neighbourhood

Recorded crime in this neighbourhood compared with the typical (median) neighbourhood in Rotherham 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. Areas with busy town centres or stations record more crime because of visitors, not just residents.
