Ranskill's crime profile reveals a striking contrast to national trends, with 'Other crime' at 104% above the UK average (4.1 vs 2.0 per 1,000).

The area's safety score of 89/100, 10 points above the UK average, underscores its generally secure environment, though targeted risks like vehicle crime and 'Other crime' demand specific attention.

Ranskill is a built-up area within Bassetlaw, characterized by its proximity to Nottingham and a mix of residential and commercial properties. As a commuter hub, it sees regular traffic, which may influence vehicle crime rates. The area's relatively small population and lower density compared to urban centers likely contribute to its overall lower crime rate. However, the presence of unmonitored properties and limited foot traffic in certain neighborhoods may explain the elevated 'Other crime' rates compared to the UK average.

The most surprising finding is that 'Other crime' in Ranskill is 104% above the UK average (4.1 vs 2.0 per 1,000), a significant local concern. This may stem from unsecured properties or underutilized public spaces that provide opportunities for opportunistic offenders. Vehicle crime, 33% above the UK average (6.1 vs 4.6 per 1,000), likely reflects the area's commuter profile, with parking lots and roadside vehicles being vulnerable targets. While property crime overall is 38.4% below the UK average, the sharp rise in drug-related offences (+50% YoY) suggests emerging local challenges, possibly linked to increased cross-border activity from nearby urban areas.
