The B postcode area is used as a practical proxy for Birmingham; it includes some surrounding places and may not match the council boundary. Crime is per 1,000 properties from Police.uk and is weighted by city-centre and retail activity; districts with very few homes (business parks and the like) are left out of the crime figures because the per-1,000 rate is distorted where there are almost no residents. Prices are averages of recorded sales from HM Land Registry. Deprivation is the English Indices of Deprivation decile (1 = most deprived). All figures are indicative, not a regulated search. Read the crime and deprivation guides for how to interpret them.
