The question of whether there are specific areas within Southbourne, Chichester, experiencing higher rates of property crime is a valid one. Data for the BUA (Built-Up Area) of Southbourne reveals a property crime rate of 19.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is important to consider in the context of the broader UK average, which stands at a significantly higher rate of 91.6 crimes per 1,000 people overall.
It's crucial to note that the overall crime rate for Southbourne itself is 54.6 per 1,000 residents, which is lower than the UK average. The population of Southbourne is 4741. A safety score of 88/100 further reinforces Southbourne's relative safety compared to the national average (79/100).
However, a property crime rate of 19.0 per 1,000 suggests that while overall crime may be lower, property crime remains a factor. Unfortunately, the provided data doesn't specify which specific areas within Southbourne experience these rates. Therefore, it is impossible to pinpoint particular locations with higher concentrations of property crime based on the information given.
It is important to remember that crime rates can fluctuate and localised variations can exist. This data represents a snapshot in time and provides a general overview. To gain more granular insights, residents are encouraged to consult local police reports and community forums for more specific information regarding incidents within their immediate vicinity.
