The question of whether specific areas within Tadley experience disproportionately higher rates of violent crime is a valid concern for residents. Based on available data for Tadley in Basingstoke and Deane, the overall crime rate stands at 41.4 incidents per 1,000 people. This is notably lower than the United Kingdom’s average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000. The area also boasts a commendable safety score of 90 out of 100, significantly above the UK average of 79.
It's important to interpret these figures carefully. The data represents the overall crime rate for the BUA (Built-Up Area) of Tadley. It doesn't pinpoint specific streets or neighbourhoods where crime might be more concentrated. While the overall rate is low, localised variations can exist. Without more granular data, it's impossible to definitively state which areas within Tadley have higher violent crime rates.
However, the relatively low crime rate and high safety score suggest that Tadley is generally a safe place to live. The fact that the rate is so much lower than the UK average is a positive indicator. The population of Tadley within Basingstoke and Deane is 14,332, and the context of the broader Basingstoke and Deane district is also important when considering safety perceptions.
For more detailed information, residents are encouraged to consult with Basingstoke and Deane Council’s community safety resources. These resources may provide data broken down by smaller geographical areas or specific types of crime, offering a more nuanced understanding of safety within Tadley. Local police community support officers (PCSOs) are also a valuable source of information and can advise on any specific concerns.
