Determining precise 'crime hotspots' within Brentwood requires detailed, localised crime data that isn’t publicly available at a street level. However, we can analyse the overall crime picture for the LAD (Local Authority District) of Brentwood to understand the area's safety profile.
Brentwood has a population of 79,326 residents. The overall crime rate in Brentwood is 73.0 per 1,000 people. This is notably lower than the UK national average, which stands at 91.6 crimes per 1,000 people. A lower crime rate suggests, generally, a safer environment compared to many areas across the United Kingdom.
Furthermore, Brentwood’s safety score is 83 out of 100, again exceeding the UK average of 79. This safety score is a composite measure likely incorporating factors beyond simple crime rates, such as perceptions of safety, levels of antisocial behaviour, and community resilience. It reflects a positive assessment of the area’s safety.
It's important to understand that crime statistics represent reported crimes. They don't necessarily capture all incidents, and variations can exist between different neighbourhoods within the LAD. While Brentwood’s overall statistics are reassuring, it doesn’t mean crime is entirely absent.
To gain a more granular understanding of crime trends, residents are encouraged to consult local police resources, engage with neighbourhood watch schemes (if available), and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. While we cannot identify specific hotspots based on the data provided, the overall picture paints Brentwood as a relatively safe area within the UK.
