The 24 safest Sheffield neighbourhoods to leave your car

There are big differences in levels of car crime across Sheffield.

But we have looked at the figures to find where the safest places are in the city when it comes to car crime.

The figures look at incidents including both thefts of the cars or vehicles themselves, and incidents of thefts from cars.

Vehicle crime is defined from the National Crime Recording System codes for this type of crime, and includes theft of a vehicle and theft from a vehicle.

The figures are sourced from Sheffield Council’s ‘Local Insights’ information page, which has gathered the figures together for specific neighbourhoods. They are based on South Yorkshire Police data.

The figures are for the 12 months from June 2023 to May 2024, and show both the 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.

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.

We have listed the 24 neighbourhoods in the city with the largest number of vehicle crime incidents in the gallery below. The smaller number of incidents per person are at the top, and the area with the largest number is listed last.
