About this ranking

Ranked by anti-social behaviour per 1,000 residents over the 12 months to July 2026. The England and Wales rate was 15.3; the index column compares each area with it (1.00 = national rate). Rates for city and town centres are inflated by visitors and commuters, who are not counted in the resident population.
