Questions people ask
Is Leeds safe?
Police recorded about 113 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, higher than Yorkshire and The Humber as a whole (94.4). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Leeds?
Homes sold for a typical £3,060 per m² in the year to August 2026, higher than Yorkshire and The Humber as a whole (£2,500 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £215,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Leeds?
There are 221 state primary and 45 state secondary schools inside Leeds's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Leeds a deprived area?
28% of Leeds's 488 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 25% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
