Coolest areas in Birmingham

Ranked on nightlife and buzz, diversity and how easy it is to get around: the places with independent food, late bars and a mix of people.

Ranked from Boroughly's Birmingham dataset of 55 areas. Prices are postcode-district medians of HM Land Registry recorded sales; safety is a relative rank of police.uk recorded crime; rents and other scores are indicative - see how we source data. Use this to build a shortlist, not to make the final call.
