Although the survey found high levels of burglaries in many
areas, the highest burglary rates are found in major cities. In fact,
twelve out of the twenty are in London. However, the highest
level of burglaries was found in Chorlton in Manchester.
Chorlton is home to a mixture of people. There are young,
well-off professionals living in modern flats but there are also
some poor areas with high levels of unemployment and poverty.
Unfortunately, there is no information about whether the
burglaries affect one group more than the other or whether
both rich and poor suffer equally.
