Determining the specific areas within Cannock Chase that experience the highest crime rates requires a more granular level of data than is currently available. However, we can analyse overall crime statistics for the Local Authority District (LAD) of Cannock Chase to provide a broader understanding of safety.
Cannock Chase LAD, with a population of 104,088, has a crime rate of 82.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the United Kingdom average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. The safety score for Cannock Chase is 80 out of 100, which is marginally higher than the UK average of 79.
It’s important to note that a lower crime rate overall doesn’t guarantee complete safety across all areas. Crime is often unevenly distributed, with certain neighbourhoods experiencing higher concentrations of incidents. While we don't have neighbourhood-level data for Cannock Chase, these factors are typical across all UK regions.
Several factors can influence crime rates within a specific area. These include socio-economic conditions, population density, and the prevalence of certain types of crime (e.g., theft, violence, antisocial behaviour). Without more detailed data, it’s impossible to pinpoint the exact areas within Cannock Chase with the highest rates. However, the overall statistics suggest that, comparatively, Cannock Chase is a relatively safe area.
To gain a more localised perspective, we strongly recommend checking the Staffordshire Police website for crime mapping tools and local news reports. These resources may provide insights into specific areas of concern within the LAD. Engaging with local community groups and neighbourhood watch schemes can also offer valuable information and support.
