The top 20 burglary hotspots

 

Here are the top 20 postcodes where homeowners are most likely to have claimed on home insurance for burglary, followed by the top 20 least likely.

MoneySupermarket.com analysed 3.49 million applications for home insurance quotes made between December 2011 and the end of November 2012.

They looked at the number of users who said they had made a claim for burglary at their current address in the past two years.

The number of claims made per 1,000 enquiries was then calculated, to allow areas to be compared.

The top 20 most likely ranked by the number of claims per 1,000 enquiries are:

1 LS13 Leeds (34.8)

2 BD12 Bradford (34.2)

3 N12 North Finchley, north London (31.9)

4 M30 Manchester (31.6)

5 RM3 Romford (30.9)

6 SW12 Balham, south London (30.1)

7 LS18 Leeds (29.7)

10 LS28 Leeds (28.4)

17 BD18 Bradford (26.2)

18 SW16 Streatham, south London (26.1)

19 LS12 Leeds(26.1)

20 BD6 Bradford (25.3)

These are the 20 least likely. The ranking is correct, but the figures for the first 16 have been rounded to one decimal place, so 0.0 is shown.
