The question of how Pen-y-fai’s crime data compares to Bridgend’s overall statistics is a pertinent one, and the data paints a reassuring picture. Pen-y-fai, a built-up area within Bridgend, has a crime rate of 40.2 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than Bridgend’s overall crime rate, which stands at 95.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. Furthermore, it’s substantially below the United Kingdom’s average crime rate of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
To put this in context, Pen-y-fai’s population is 2314 people. This comparatively low crime rate contributes to a high safety score for the area – a score of 91 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79, indicating that Pen-y-fai is perceived as significantly safer than the average area in the country.
It’s worth noting that neighbouring areas present varying crime rates. Pen-y-cae registers a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, demonstrating an exceptionally low level of crime. Sarn, however, has a crime rate of 92.8 per 1,000, closer to Bridgend’s overall figure, highlighting the variability within the Bridgend region. Trelales has a crime rate of 52.5 per 1,000.
This difference in crime rates suggests that factors beyond the general Bridgend area influence local safety. These factors may include community cohesion, local policing strategies, and socio-economic conditions specific to each area. While these statistics offer a valuable snapshot of the current situation, it’s important to remember that crime rates can fluctuate over time and are subject to various influences.
