Every councilRanked

Recorded crime per 1,000 residents within a mile (1.6km), a month, every council ranked

The same count set against the people living within that same mile, per 1,000, so a city and a village can be compared. It is still a count of where crime is recorded, so homes by a town centre carry its shops and nights out against their own residents. Figures for 2026-08, published for 312 councils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Lowest first: the order says where a council sits, not whether that is good.

Lowest: West Devon, 3.8. The council in the middle: Solihull, 8.2. Highest: City of London, 37.7.
