The question of how Llandudno's crime rate compares to Conwy is a valid concern for residents and visitors alike. Based on available data, Llandudno, specifically the built-up area (BUA) of Llandudno within the wider Conwy county, exhibits a considerably higher crime rate than the UK average.
Llandudno’s BUA has a crime rate of 191.9 crimes per 1,000 residents. This is significantly above the UK average, which stands at 91.6 crimes per 1,000 residents. This means Llandudno experiences almost double the level of reported crime compared to the national average. It is important to note that this statistic relates specifically to the built-up area of Llandudno, and doesn’t reflect the crime rates across the entire Conwy county.
While the data doesn't provide a direct comparison between Llandudno and the rest of Conwy, the implication is that the broader Conwy area's crime rate is lower than that of Llandudno’s BUA. This is typical; built-up areas tend to have higher crime rates due to factors like population density and concentrated activity. The safety score for Llandudno’s BUA is 57 out of 100, which is also below the UK average safety score of 79. This further reinforces the perception of a less safe environment compared to the national average.
It's crucial to remember that crime rates are statistical representations and don't necessarily reflect the day-to-day lived experience of every resident. However, the data does highlight a trend that warrants attention and proactive measures. Understanding these statistics can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their safety and security.
