Birmingham City Centre

Birmingham City Centre scores 57/100 overall. The UK's second city delivers outstanding amenities (993 venues) and transport connectivity (6 stations including Snow Hill and Jewellery Quarter). However, crime is extremely high at 5,155 incidents over 3 months, with violent crime making up 37%. IMD decile 3 indicates high deprivation, and 8 flood risk zones from the River Cole, Rea, and Tame reduce the environment score. Strong investing potential at 74/100 driven by regeneration upside and tenant demand.
