The 24 most vandalised neighbourhoods in Sheffield

Statistics from Police UK show the neighbourhoods of Sheffield which have seen the most reports of incidents of criminal damage in the most recent time period available, which runs from June 2024 until May 2025.

They work on the basis of the city being divided into 70 neighbourhoods, and the figures are recognised by Sheffield Council.

The figures are for what is officially termed criminal damage, and they also include instances of arson.

They show the total number of reports of neighbourhood-level incidents of criminal damage, and the number as a rate per 1,000 residents. We have ranked the areas on the basis of the cases per 1,000 residents.

The figures are based on where the incidents occurred, not where they were reported from.
