Q: What is the crime rate in Toxteth?

Toxteth has a Low crime rating based on police-recorded crime data from the last 12 months.

Data last updated: August 2026

Known internationally as the birthplace of The Beatles, the broader L8 postcode area of Toxteth sits within one of Liverpool's most densely populated districts, with over 20,000 residents per square kilometre. For prospective landlords, the headline figure is a gross rental yield of 6.30%, based on an average property price of £178,443 and monthly rents averaging £862. The rental market is currently rated a landlord's market, though average days on market of 60 suggests properties aren't letting instantly. Price growth tells a mixed story: a 5-year gain of 21.2% is encouraging, but 3-year growth sits at -9.6%, pointing to a market that has cooled noticeably since a post-pandemic peak. Nearly 49% of households are social rented, with private renters making up 30%, which signals strong underlying rental demand but a relatively thin owner-occupier base. The deprivation index of 29/100 and a health index of 47/100 reflect genuine socioeconomic challenges in parts of the area, and landlords should factor this into their investment expectations alongside an above-average crime rate of 138 per 1,000 residents despite the low crime rating assigned.
