Yes, while specific data on crime hotspots within Heanor isn't publicly available at a granular level, we can assess the overall crime situation for the BUA (Built-up Area) of Heanor in Amber Valley. The area has a population of 22,959 residents. The crime rate currently stands at 110.2 incidents per 1,000 people. This is notably higher than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000.
It’s important to understand what this means. A higher crime rate doesn't automatically signify dangerous conditions everywhere within Heanor. It indicates a greater frequency of reported crimes relative to the population size. The safety score for Heanor is 74 out of 100, which is also below the UK average safety score of 79. This score suggests that residents may perceive a lower level of safety compared to the national average.
While we can’t pinpoint specific streets or neighbourhoods with significantly higher crime rates based on the available data, the overall figures suggest a need for increased vigilance and community engagement. Factors contributing to crime rates are complex and can include socio-economic conditions, population density, and local policing initiatives. It's crucial to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents, and the actual level of crime may be higher or lower.
To stay informed and contribute to community safety, we recommend checking the Derbyshire Constabulary website for updates on local crime trends and any specific alerts issued for the Heanor area. Engaging with local neighbourhood watch schemes and reporting any suspicious activity to the police are also proactive steps residents can take.
