Safe Sheffield: The 26 areas where police figures say your car is safest in Sheffield, some may surprise you

Some parts of Sheffield are safer than others when it comes to you car.

And we have looked at the figures from across the city to find where you face the lowest risk of having your vehicle stolen or broken into by thieves.

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

These officially published figures have revealed the parts of the city which have seen the most complaints of vehicle crime.

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.

The figures are for the 12 months from March 2023 to February 2024, and 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.

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 26 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.
