Llanrwst, a built-up area in Conwy, presents a crime rate of 86.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure places it slightly below the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people. Understanding how Llanrwst’s safety profile stacks up against the broader Conwy area and the national picture provides valuable context for residents and those considering relocating.
Notably, Llanrwst's safety score stands at 80 out of 100, which is marginally higher than the UK average of 79. This suggests a generally positive perception of safety within the community. It’s important to remember that safety scores are subjective and based on a combination of factors including reported crime, fear of crime, and community perceptions.
A particularly striking aspect of Llanrwst’s safety profile is its comparison to nearby areas. Trefriw, Betws-y-Coed, Dolgarrog, and Llangernyw all report a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents. This demonstrates a significantly lower crime prevalence in these surrounding communities when compared to Llanrwst. While Llanrwst's crime rate is below the UK average, the extremely low rates in these neighbouring villages highlight the relatively peaceful nature of the wider Conwy region.
It’s crucial to interpret these statistics within context. A crime rate is simply a measure of reported incidents, and doesn't necessarily reflect the overall quality of life or the level of concern felt by residents. Furthermore, the population of Llanrwst is 3108, meaning that relatively small numbers of incidents can significantly impact the per capita crime rate. Remaining aware of your surroundings and reporting any suspicious activity to the authorities are always advisable, regardless of statistical averages.
