We have used figures based on Merseyside Police’s crime numbers, which break down residential burglaries in Merseyside into specific neighbourhoods.
The data is for the period from June 2023 to May 2024 - which is the most recent time period for which the figures are available - with the rankings based on the number of break-ins per 1,000 households in each neighbourhood. During the 12-month period, 7,307 residential burglaries were reported in the Liverpool City Region, which equals 10.8 per 1,000 households.
