L22 crime rate and statistics
The L22 postcode district, in the L (Liverpool) postcode area.
Updated October 2026.
Police published 1,010 street-crime records for L22 from September 2025 to August 2026. That is 9.3% fewer than in the 12 months before. The rate is 73.5 per 1,000 residents counted in the Census 2021, against 107.1 for Merseyside Police. A residents-only rate reads high where many people visit. Police locations are approximate.
September 2025 to August 2026. Street-crime records include anti-social behaviour.

Street-crime records per 1,000 residents
Published street-crime records (including anti-social behaviour), September 2025 to August 2026, per 1,000 usual residents in the Census 2021.
L22
73.5
Merseyside Police
107.1
1,010 records and 13,736 residents. Residents-only rates overstate crime where many people visit who do not live there, such as city centres, stations, and retail parks. Residents are counted at March 2021 while records are current, so areas with many newer homes can read higher.
No England and Wales comparison is shown, because not every force involved has published every month of this window.
Rates cover England and Wales only. Residents: Office for National Statistics, Census 2021 postcode estimates, Open Government Licence v3.0. How rates are built.

Where records cluster in L22
Records by part of L22: the south-east 217, the south 184, the east 165, the north-west 135, the centre 94, the north-east 73, the west 71, the north 71, the south-west 66.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 280 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of L22's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and L22's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of L22 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore L22 on the crime map.

Is L22 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for L22 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 84 records a month. The busiest months were June 2026 and July 2026, with 103 each.
Records here changed by -9.3% on the 12 months before, against +3.4% across the Merseyside Police area over the same months.
Violence and sexual offences is the largest category, at 45.5% of records, against 35.5% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in L22 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. The rate per 1,000 residents is above. See the limits to keep in mind.
Limits to keep in mind
Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release, and each record is assigned to a district by its nearest postcode. Counts near district boundaries are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
Outcome labels in the source data are not court results or conviction rates.
Covers 100.0% of the 13,736 Census 2021 residents of L22.

Share of residents in each decile, from 1 (most deprived) to 10 (least deprived) of England's small areas. Shares are rounded, so they may not total 100%.
Deciles rank neighbourhoods within one nation, so English and Welsh deciles don't compare. They describe areas, not the people living in them, and crime is one of the things the index measures, so this mix partly overlaps the crime figures above. How this is built.
