Safe Sheffield: City's 22 safest neighbourhoods when it comes to violent incidents

Latest official figures show they have seen fewer reports of violent crime and sexual offences than anywhere else in the city.

Figures from Police UK show that they saw the fewest reports of violent crime and sexual offences per 1,000 residents between December 2024 and the end of November 2025.

We have taken the most up to date figures, which are recognised by Sheffield Council, and ranked them on the basis of the number of reports of incidents per 1,000 population in each of the 70 neighbourhoods of which Sheffield is officially divided up into by statistics experts.

The figures also show Sheffield is one one of the safest big cities, with an overall 35.8 violent crimes or sexual offences reported per 1,000 people over the period represented in the data.

That compares with 51.6 in Birmingham, 49.2 in Bristol, 51.0 in Leeds, 49.4 in Liverpool, 43.3 in Newcastle, and 44.9 in Nottingham.

Those 22 Sheffield areas which saw the fewest complaints are listed in the gallery below, with the safest listed last.
