The question of whether Pyle is safe during the evening and night is complex. While Pyle, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Bridgend, boasts a population of 14,726, the data paints a nuanced picture regarding its safety, particularly after dark. The overall crime rate in Pyle stands at 83.1 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly below the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000, suggesting that, in terms of overall crime, Pyle is marginally safer than the national average. The overall safety score for Pyle is 79/100, mirroring the UK average of 79, indicating a perceived level of safety consistent with the rest of the country.
However, the critical factor regarding safety at night is the 'Night Safety Score,' which is a concerning 5/100 for Pyle. This score is significantly lower than the UK average and suggests a considerably less safe environment during evening and nighttime hours. The violent crime rate is also worth noting, standing at 41.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. While this data does not specify the types of crimes occurring, the low night safety score strongly implies that residents and visitors should exercise increased caution after dark.
It’s important to remember that safety scores and crime rates are statistical representations and do not guarantee individual experiences. Perceptions of safety can also vary greatly. This data reflects reported incidents and may not capture the full scope of safety concerns. Local community groups and police initiatives may be working to improve safety, but the available data suggests a need for continued vigilance during the night in Pyle.
