Which areas in England have the highest levels of crime?
Using Environs, we can identify the Lower Super Output Areas ("LSOAs") in England which have the highest levels of crime.
NB - In this analysis, incident numbers between January 2019 and June 2021 have been used to calculate the average number of offences per month.
LSOA Liverpool 060C has the highest crime rate at 197 incidents per month. Stoke-on-Trent 015D has the highest crime rate for its population size with 70 incidents per 1000 people per month.
For full details of the methodology used and the data sources please see the full paper linked here.
This analysis is a non-exhaustive; and does not seek to draw any conclusions about the LSOAs identified. Rather, the intention of this analysis is to demonstrate the functionality of the Environs application and that users have a powerful tool at their disposal for consolidating and interrogating data, which can support their work.
