Planna safety index
The UK's safest neighbourhoods
The safest neighbourhoods across the UK's largest cities, ranked by recorded crimes per 1,000 residents over the last 12 months. A lower score means fewer crimes per person — so rank 1 is the safest area in each city, using the 12 months to August 2026.

Neighbourhoods with missing months of data are left out. A lower score means fewer crimes per person, so the neighbourhood ranked 1 in each city is the safest.

As of August 2026, the safest neighbourhood in Birmingham is Hollywood, ranked 1 on Planna's safety index.
How often are the safest-neighbourhood rankings updated?
