The question of whether Adlington has specific crime hotspots is one that many residents understandably ask. Based on the available data, Adlington (a Built-Up Area within Chorley) has a crime rate of 67.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This suggests that, overall, Adlington experiences a lower level of crime compared to the rest of the country.
It's important to understand that the data presented doesn't pinpoint particular locations within Adlington as crime 'hotspots'. The figure represents the overall crime rate for the entire BUA. While this provides a general sense of safety, it doesn’t identify areas that might experience disproportionately higher incidents. The population of Adlington is recorded as 10,024, and while this figure contributes to the calculation of the crime rate, it doesn't itself define specific locations of concern.
Furthermore, Adlington has a safety score of 85/100, which is also above the UK average of 79/100. This score indicates a relatively safe environment, further supported by the lower-than-average crime rate. It's crucial to remember that crime statistics can fluctuate and are influenced by various factors. The data available covers a specific period, and changes in policing strategies, community initiatives, and reporting practices can all impact these figures. While no specific hotspots are highlighted by this data, consistent vigilance and proactive community engagement remain vital for maintaining a secure environment for all residents of Adlington.
