Odds of Being Burgled in Your Area
Taken from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) website:
According to data from the 2023 ONS Crime Survey, close to 1 in 100 homes in the UK are burgled each year (this includes all burglary incidents, including attempted burglaries). But the rate varies a lot depending on where you live. Cleveland in North Yorkshire is the worst hit, with 15.7 in every 1,000 homes facing a burglary incident each year. South Yorkshire is not far behind, with a rate of 1.4 out of 1,000 homes burled last year. In London, the Metropolitan Police reported a rate of 10.7 burglary incidents per 1,000 households in London.
The lowest-crime region was the South West, with just 4.5 burglary incidents per 1,000 households—in this region Devon and Cornwall really stand out with a rate of just 2.7 incidents per 1,000 households.
