Our gallery shows the neighbourhoods in the city which have seen the highest numbers of incidents of car crime over the most recent 12 month period for which figures are available - they are the figures for September 2023 to August 2024.
The figures look at incidents including both thefts of the cars or vehicles themselves, and incidents of thefts from cars.

Figures published on Sheffield Council’s ‘Local Insights’ information page gather the figures together for specific neighbourhoods.
The figures show total number of reports of neighbourhood-level incidents of vehicle crime, and the number as a rate per 1,000 residents.
We have ranked the figures by the number of reports per 1,000 residents, but also include the total number of incidents.
In total, the city has been split into 70 neighbourhoods in the figures.
The figures are based on where the incidents occurred, not where they were reported from.
