A view of Bournville. Photograph by GavinWarrins.

Bournville is a suburban area in south Birmingham, known for its historic connection to the Cadbury chocolate company and its picturesque surroundings.

What stands out

  • Leafy residential streets
  • Community-focused atmosphere
  • Mix of old and new architecture

Trade-offs

  • Quiet village-like feel versus proximity to city amenities
  • Green spaces versus busy local roads
  • Historic charm versus modern housing developments

Official records around this point

Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on B30 1UR — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Crime is counted across the whole Bournville policing neighbourhood, which is the Police.uk boundary containing B30 1UR — a named area can span several of them, so this is the one covering the centre of Bournville, not all of it. Each keeps its source, its geography and its limits. Counts are counts: an incident total is not a safety measure, and an empty planning result is not a completed search.

One month of records for the Bournville policing neighbourhood — the boundary police.uk itself shows, so this figure should match theirs. Not a year. Locations are anonymised to a nearby street, not an address. Counts are not adjusted for population, visitors or reporting differences and must not be treated as a neighbourhood quality score.

Housing market context

£234,150average house price across Birmingham, June 2026

A year earlier the same measure was £229,142, a change of +2.2%.

Average price across the whole local authority for one month, from the ONS series built on HM Land Registry UK House Price Index data. It is not a neighbourhood median and not a valuation of any property. Two guides in the same borough share this figure while their streets differ. House-price data is revised, and recent months are the most likely to move.

Source: Average house price by local authority, Office for National Statistics, from HM Land Registry UK House Price Index.

What this report does not cover

  • neighbourhood median sale price (not_available): Only a local-authority average is connected, from ONS. A neighbourhood median needs enough geocoded transactions inside the guide boundary, which the per-postcode HMLR queries cannot supply.
  • rents (not_available): No rent series is connected. Advertised rents and official all-tenancy measures are different things and neither is available here yet.
  • journey times (not_available): No journey planner is connected. Transport is measured as nearby stops, not as time to anywhere. TfL PTAL and journey-time APIs would replace it for London.
  • school admissions history (not_available): Admission arrangements are held by each admission authority and are not in the GIAS or Ofsted snapshots.
  • licensed premises and venues (not_available): No licensing register or venue dataset is connected. Food-hygiene categories are not a pub register.
  • image rights (not_yet_verified): No licensed image library is connected. Return an image brief rather than an asset.
  • approved boundary polygon (not_yet_verified): Boundaries are postcode-district proxies. Counts describe the districts named, not a town-centre polygon.

Boundary

Bournville, taken as the B30 postcode district. A postcode-district proxy, not an approved polygon. These are postcode districts standing in for an approved polygon. Present every count as "in these postcode districts", never as a neighbourhood or town-centre figure.
