The question of whether there are specific areas in Kimberley where vehicle crime is particularly high can be addressed by examining available data for the Kimberley BUA (Built-Up Area) in Broxtowe. The data reveals that Kimberley, as a whole, presents a somewhat lower risk compared to the national average.
Kimberley's population is recorded as 3906. The overall crime rate in this area is 56.3 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is notably lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that, overall, Kimberley is a relatively safe area. Furthermore, the safety score for Kimberley is 87 out of 100, exceeding the UK average of 79, indicating a higher perceived level of safety among residents.
However, the data also includes a property crime rate of 23.3 per 1,000 residents. While this isn’t explicitly broken down by type of property crime, it’s important to acknowledge this figure when considering overall safety. It is important to note that this data does not pinpoint specific locations within Kimberley experiencing disproportionately higher vehicle crime rates. The provided data represents an area-wide average. Therefore, while the overall crime rate is lower than the UK average, it's still vital for residents to remain vigilant and take precautions.
It is also important to consider that these figures represent reported crimes; the actual number of incidents may be higher. Understanding the broader context of Kimberley’s crime statistics helps residents to assess their personal safety and take appropriate preventative measures. Further localised data, if available, would provide more granular insights into specific crime hotspots.
