The question of whether there are specific vehicle crime hotspots in Brynmawr is complex to answer definitively without more granular data. However, we can assess the overall crime landscape of Brynmawr, a built-up area (BUA) within Blaenau Gwent, and draw some inferences.
Brynmawr has a population of 5313. Its overall crime rate stands at 81.9 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is marginally lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that, in general, Brynmawr experiences slightly less crime than the average across the United Kingdom. However, this is a broad overview; crime is rarely evenly distributed.
The safety score for Brynmawr is 78 out of 100, again, slightly below the UK average of 79. This score reflects residents’ perceived safety and the overall crime situation. A lower safety score often indicates a heightened sense of insecurity within the community.
Crucially, the property crime rate in Brynmawr is 29.2 per 1,000 residents. While this isn't exceptionally high, it’s important to note that vehicle crime typically falls under the umbrella of property crime. The absence of specific vehicle crime data means we cannot pinpoint exact hotspots. However, areas with higher rates of property crime are often also susceptible to vehicle-related offences.
Without access to detailed crime maps or breakdowns by crime type within Brynmawr, it's impossible to identify specific streets or areas with disproportionately high vehicle crime rates. It’s important to remember that crime patterns can fluctuate. Factors such as seasonal changes, local events, and changes in police resources can all impact crime rates. To get more specific information, contacting Blaenau Gwent Police directly, or consulting publicly available crime statistics (if available at a more granular level) would be beneficial.
