This is the best I could find: People who live in more deprived areas are more likely to live in neighbourhoods with higher crime rates. People from minority ethnic groups are more likely than white people to live in neighbourhoods with the highest crime rates. Younger adults are more likely than their older counterparts to live in neighbourhoods with higher crime rates. There’s also “Street-level crime and its relationship to deprivation” which confirms the same again in 2026 in London.
