In detail

West Midlands Police recorded 557 crimes inside this ward's official boundary over the 3 months to July 2026 — an average of 14.3 per 1,000 residents a month, the 9th highest rate of Birmingham's 69 wards. The daytime score here is driven by vehicle crime (18), shoplifting (12), burglary (10); the evening/night score by violent crime (71), public order (17), anti social behaviour (6). Those two scores are split by offence type, not by clock time — the police feed records no time of day, so day and night here mean the kinds of crime typical of each, not counts of incidents observed then. Rated against the average of the city's own wards, never against another city.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →

Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.

This rating is derived from West Midlands Police street-level crime records published at data.police.uk — an official statistic covering this area, not an assessment of it. It is a periodic snapshot rather than a live feed, and it is normalised against residents rather than footfall; the methodology page sets out the year, the normalisation and what that means for busy central areas.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bordesley Green safe?

Wandroz currently rates Bordesley Green in Birmingham as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Birmingham during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Birmingham at night. This rating is derived from West Midlands Police street-level crime records published at data.police.uk — an official statistic, not an assessment. High-footfall tourist, transit or shopping areas can read higher on this kind of measure without that meaning elevated risk per visit, since these statistics are normalised against registered residents rather than footfall — see the note on this page and the methodology page for the full caveats.

Is Bordesley Green safe at night?

At night, Bordesley Green is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Birmingham. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.

Is Bordesley Green a good area to stay in as a tourist?

Bordesley Green's day rating (an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Birmingham) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Birmingham, not Bordesley Green specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.

Is there official crime data for Bordesley Green?

Yes. Bordesley Green's rating is derived from West Midlands Police street-level crime records published at data.police.uk, not an assessment — see the note on this page for the exact figure and the methodology page for full sourcing.
