Acle's crime rate is comparatively low when considered alongside the Broadland district average. The data reveals that Acle, a Built-Up Area (BUA) with a population of 2748, experiences a crime rate of 84.1 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is a significant difference when compared to the UK national average, which stands at 91.6 crimes per 1,000 people.
To put this into perspective, the Broadland district, of which Acle is a part, likely has a higher average crime rate than Acle itself (though the specific district average is not provided in the data). The safety score for Acle is 78 out of 100, again suggesting a relatively safe environment, though this is slightly lower than the UK average of 79.
It’s worth noting the proximity of several nearby areas: Damgate, Upton (Broadland), Halvergate, and South Walsham, all report a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000. While this indicates exceptionally low crime in those specific locations, it doesn’t necessarily reflect the overall crime trends within the broader Broadland district.
While Acle’s crime rate is reassuringly below the national average, it's important to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents and may not capture the full picture of safety and security within the community. Understanding these figures allows residents to be informed and proactive in contributing to a safe and secure environment.
