Score 40/100. This is an LSOA incident-count proxy, not a population-adjusted crime rate.
How Life Works Here
University Road West is located in Birmingham. The associated LSOA area has 236 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 14 nearby amenities. The closest is Café @ Undercroft (cafe, 86m). Distances do not establish a walkable route or current opening hours. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail. The nearest mapped stop (University Rail Station) is 192m 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 2,443; owner-occupied homes 24.6%; social housing 1.9%; retired population 6.7%; average household size 5.5. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. Proximity does not establish admissions eligibility, catchment or personal suitability. The highest available weighted profile is young professionals at 77/100. This is a comparison of recorded inputs, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns. The available indicators produce a composite score of 68/100. Its recorded district percentile is 100. Missing dimensions are excluded; scores are proxies rather than measurements of personal liveability.
