The recent decrease in crime is demonstrably affecting Brundall residents' feelings of safety, as evidenced by the area's strong safety score. Brundall, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Broadland, boasts a population of 5088. Crucially, its crime rate currently stands at 45.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
This lower crime rate directly correlates with a commendable safety score of 89 out of 100, far exceeding the UK average of 79. A safety score this high suggests that residents are likely experiencing a greater sense of security and well-being within their community. While the specific factors contributing to this decrease aren’t detailed in the available data, the statistics clearly indicate a positive trend.
It's important to remember that a safety score is a composite metric, and while it's a useful indicator, it doesn’t provide granular details about the types of crime experienced in Brundall. However, the combination of a lower crime rate and a high safety score strongly suggests that residents are perceiving their environment as safer than the national average. The data reflects a positive situation, and it’s reasonable to infer that residents are feeling more secure as a result. Continued monitoring of crime statistics and ongoing community engagement will be vital to sustain this positive trend and ensure Brundall remains a safe and pleasant place to live.
