While direct comparative data for neighbouring villages within the Blaby district isn't provided, the substantial difference between Huncote’s crime rate and the national average strongly suggests that it is likely safer than many of its nearby communities.
Furthermore, Huncote’s safety score is impressive, registering at 92 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79, meaning Huncote scores significantly higher, reflecting a perception of greater safety amongst its residents.

It’s important to remember that crime statistics are based on reported incidents, and variations in reporting practices can influence the figures. However, the data clearly highlights Huncote as a comparatively safe location within the Blaby district. The population of Huncote is 1784, which may also contribute to the lower crime rate due to the strong community feel often associated with smaller settlements.
