A little history

Blackheath in Birmingham. Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the centre of the West Midlands region of England, and the second-largest city in Britain. Blackheath is a town and electoral ward in the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough, in the county of West Midlands, so it lies outside the city itself.

Notable neighbourhoods in Blackheath include:

Bartley Green and Woodgate. Bartley Green is a residential suburban area and electoral ward in Birmingham, 5 miles (8 km) south west of the city centre. Woodgate is an area of Birmingham between Bartley Green and Harborne. It is split into three parts: Woodgate Valley South, Woodgate itself, which is next to Bartley Green, and Woodgate Valley North.

Frankley and Woodgate Valley. Frankley is a village and civil parish in Worcestershire. The modern Frankley estate is part of the New Frankley civil parish in Birmingham and has been part of the city since 1995. Woodgate Valley South is the gateway to Harborne, while Woodgate Valley North is often referred to as part of Quinton. In the Quinton area, farmland was built on from the 1930s, but some countryside remains as Woodgate Valley Country Park.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighbourhood in this race has residents to count.

Bartley Green (81.1 per 1,000 from 30 crimes among 370 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

The 6 neighbourhoods on the map

Blackheath is made of 6 neighbourhoods compared here, each in its own colour on the map. They are neighbourhood areas derived by CrimesLog from rail station locations and OS Open Names: 11,287 residents between them.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighbourhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighbourhood.
