Determining the absolute 'safest streets' in Brentwood is complex, as crime statistics aren't typically broken down to that granular a level. However, we can assess overall safety based on available data for the LAD (Lower Area Designation) of Brentwood.
Brentwood, with a population of 79,326, demonstrates a crime rate of 73.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000. A safety score of 83/100 further supports this observation, exceeding the UK average safety score of 79. It's important to remember that a safety score is a composite measure and doesn't reflect specific street-level safety.
While the overall crime rate is reassuring, understanding the types of crime is also crucial. Brentwood’s violent crime rate stands at 24.3 per 1,000 residents. While this data doesn't allow us to identify specific safe streets, it does suggest that Brentwood, as a whole, experiences less crime than many other areas in the United Kingdom.
It's worth noting that crime rates are dynamic and can fluctuate. Factors like local policing initiatives, community engagement, and socioeconomic conditions can all influence safety. To get a more localised understanding, residents are encouraged to engage with local community groups, neighbourhood watch schemes (if available), and review publicly accessible crime maps when they become available. Always remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
