The question of whether specific areas within Sarn experience higher rates of anti-social behaviour is complex and requires careful consideration of available data. Based on current information, Sarn, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Bridgend, has a population of 12,531. The crime rate in Sarn stands at 92.8 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is marginally higher than the United Kingdom average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
While this figure suggests a slightly elevated level of criminal activity, it doesn't pinpoint specific locations within Sarn where anti-social behaviour is particularly concentrated. The provided safety score for Sarn is 78 out of 100, which is slightly below the UK average of 79. This score represents a broader perception of safety and security, and can be influenced by factors beyond reported crime statistics, such as fear of crime and community perceptions.
It’s important to note that a higher crime rate doesn't automatically equate to widespread anti-social behaviour. The type of crime reported contributes to this, and without further data breakdown (e.g., types of crimes reported, specific locations within Sarn), it's impossible to definitively state that certain areas are disproportionately affected. Factors such as local infrastructure, community engagement, and police presence can all influence the prevalence of anti-social behaviour. Further localised data, if available, would be necessary to provide a more granular understanding of the issue. The current data only offers an overview of Sarn as a whole.
