Belbroughton’s crime rate is considerably lower than that of the broader Bromsgrove district and the United Kingdom as a whole. According to available data, Belbroughton, a Built-Up Area (BUA) with a population of 1587, has a crime rate of 41.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly below the UK national average, which stands at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people.
To put this into perspective, several nearby areas offer a contrasting picture. Holy Cross and Lower Clent both report a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, indicating exceptional safety. Fairfield’s crime rate is 46.4 per 1,000, while Hagley registers 35.9 per 1,000. This demonstrates that while Belbroughton is safer than Fairfield and Hagley, it’s not as exceptionally safe as Holy Cross or Lower Clent.
Belbroughton’s comparatively low crime rate is reflected in its safety score of 90 out of 100, well above the UK average of 79. This suggests a high level of perceived safety among residents, likely contributing to a positive community environment. The data highlights that Belbroughton is a relatively safe place to live when compared to both the wider Bromsgrove district and the national picture. While the exact nature of the crimes occurring remains undisclosed in the provided data, the overall figures paint a reassuring picture for those residing in or considering moving to the area. Further research into the reasons behind the low crime rate, and the remarkably low rates in Holy Cross and Lower Clent, could provide valuable insights for maintaining this positive trend.
