Liverpool has been crowned the safest city in the UK for families to live in, thanks to its sense of security, low crime rate and number of CCTV cameras.
Using data from the last three years, the team at Confused.com scored the UK's most populated postcodes against a number of metrics to find out which are the most secure to move to. From burglary rate to fastest ambulance response time and flood risks, they analysed which are the best — and worst — for families with young children.
While Liverpool took the top spot, Swansea was found to have the lowest crimes (20,602), while Plymouth has the lowest burglary rate with 4.1 per 1,000 people. Meanwhile, over in London, there are 31,175 officers — the most in the country.
On the other hand, Hull, Manchester and Southampton all rank as the UK's least safe cities. Despite Hull having a high sense of security, the city was found to have the highest flood risk, the fifth highest burglary rate and just 1,901 recorded police officers.
'As a parent, there are lots of different elements to consider when looking for a new home for your family, from being in the right school catchment area to finding a location your whole family can feel safe in and enjoy,' say Confused.com.
