 * Problems in the neighbourhood: From a range of issues we asked people about, half of respondents said that in their neighbourhood crime and traffic were the main concerns. However, the figure for crime has declined from 74 per cent of households reporting it as a problem in 1994-95 to 48 percent in 2004-05. But concerns over traffic have risen: 52 per cent said it was a problem in 2004-05 compared with only 40 per cent in 2001-02. Source: DCLG Statistical Release 2006/0118, 18 October 2006
