Understanding how safe Tir-y-berth and Glan-y-nant are at night requires a closer look at the available data. Located in Caerphilly, this Built-Up Area (BUA) has a population of 1743. Overall, the area's crime rate stands at 46.5 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is considerably lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests a generally lower level of crime compared to the national picture.
However, a more nuanced understanding emerges when examining the specific 'Night Safety Score'. This score, recorded at just 7/100, paints a less reassuring picture for those venturing out after dark. The UK average for overall safety is 79/100, highlighting the difference. It’s important to note that the 'Night Safety Score' is a specific metric designed to assess feelings of safety during nighttime hours and is not directly comparable to the overall crime rate.
Further breakdown reveals a violent crime rate of 23.5 per 1,000 residents. While still lower than the national average, it contributes to the lower night safety score. It is crucial to remember that crime rates are statistical averages and do not guarantee individual safety. Personal experiences can vary significantly.
Several factors influence the 'Night Safety Score', including perceptions of street lighting, the presence of CCTV, and the feeling of being watched or vulnerable. The low score suggests that residents and visitors may feel less secure walking alone at night. It’s advisable to be extra vigilant, particularly in areas with poor lighting or low visibility. While the general crime rate is encouraging, the 'Night Safety Score' warrants caution and proactive safety measures.
