Based on available data for the combined area of Nuthall and Watnall in Broxtowe (a Built-Up Area or BUA), the overall crime rate stands at 53.0 incidents per 1,000 residents.

The area boasts a safety score of 88 out of 100, which is also above the UK average of 79. This indicates a generally safe environment.
However, the absence of granular data regarding specific streets or neighbourhoods within Nuthall and Watnall means we cannot pinpoint areas with demonstrably higher crime rates. Crime distribution can vary significantly even within small geographic areas. Factors such as population density, local business activity, and the presence of public spaces can all influence crime rates.

Nottinghamshire Police publishes crime data online, although it may not be broken down to the level of individual streets within Nuthall and Watnall. Additionally, joining or participating in local neighbourhood watch schemes can provide valuable insights and foster a sense of community safety. The population of Nuthall and Watnall BUA is 10323, so even relatively small numbers of incidents can affect the overall rate.
