Birmingham in Data

Pages that compute themselves from official open data and refresh as new figures are published. No estimates and no opinion pieces: the actual record of what is happening in the city, made readable.

Property House Prices: What Homes Actually Sell For The official Birmingham average, the 12-month median for every B postcode district, and a lookup for your own area. Source: HM Land Registry, updated monthly. Crime Crime Trends: Is Your Area Getting Safer? Twelve months of recorded crime for any Birmingham area, with the offence types driving the change. Source: police.uk, live. Schools Schools Map: What Is Actually Near You All 380 state schools with the straight-line distances that decide places, nearest first from your postcode. Source: DfE register.
How these pages work. Each one draws directly from an official open dataset (HM Land Registry Price Paid Data and the UK House Price Index; the police.uk API; the DfE school register), aggregates it on our server, and re-checks for new publications automatically. Sources and licences are stated on every page, and where the data has known limitations, the page says so rather than smoothing over it.
