Area safety score 15/100 — based on recorded incident counts for the associated LSOA, not this specific street. Counts are not adjusted for population and do not establish an above-average crime rate.
Score 15/100. This is an LSOA incident-count proxy, not a population-adjusted crime rate.
How Life Works Here
Colmore Square is located in Birmingham. The associated LSOA area has 5913 recorded incidents from 2025-08 to 2026-07. Incident rows were observed in 12 of the 12 selected months. These are area counts, not street-level incidents or population-adjusted rates; they do not establish a comparison with local or national averages. The dataset records 7 nearby amenities. The closest is Shokupan (restaurant, 16m). Distances do not establish a walkable route or current opening hours. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail. The nearest mapped stop (Bull Street (West Midlands Metro)) is 99m away. Check current routes and service frequency with the operator. The price sample is too small to publish a median; at least eight recorded transactions are required. LSOA source indicators: recorded population 1,071; owner-occupied homes 8.4%; social housing 6.5%; retired population 3.5%; average household size 1.4. There are 15 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally.

This is a comparison of recorded inputs, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns. The available indicators produce a composite score of 56/100. Its recorded district percentile is 97.
