Home Burglary Risk in the United Kingdom
Check your area's real burglary risk using official Home Office and ONS recorded crime data. Get a personalised home security score and prioritised upgrade recommendations.
UK-Wide Coverage
We use official Home Office recorded crime statistics and ONS data to provide accurate, area-level burglary risk across England, Scotland, and Wales. Our England coverage reaches LSOA level — the most granular official geography available.
Official Data Sources
All burglary statistics come directly from government sources:
- Home Office — Recorded crime statistics for England and Wales, published quarterly by the Office for National Statistics.
- ONS — Crime Survey for England and Wales, LSOA-level population mid-year estimates (2023).
- police.uk — Street-level crime data for individual police force areas across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
- Scottish Government — Recorded Crime in Scotland, published annually with local authority breakdowns.
- Community Safety Partnerships — Local area crime profiles used for LA-level residential burglary rates.
Why Local Burglary Risk Matters
Burglary rates in England vary enormously — from under 1 per 1,000 residents in rural areas to over 15 per 1,000 in urban hotspots. The national average tells you nothing about your street. Our tool uses your specific area's recorded burglary data to calculate a risk level relevant to your home.
Combined with a detailed assessment of your property's physical security (doors, locks, windows, lighting, alarms, CCTV), you get a personalised 0–100 score showing exactly where you stand and what to improve first.
