The question of whether Llanrwst town centre is safe during evening hours requires a careful look at available data. Based on current statistics, the overall crime rate for Llanrwst (a Built-Up Area or BUA) is 86.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. The population of Llanrwst is 3108, providing a context for these numbers. A safety score of 80/100 also suggests a generally reasonable level of safety, again exceeding the UK average of 79.
However, a key indicator of evening safety is the specific 'Night Safety Score', which is considerably lower at 6/100. This suggests that perceptions of safety, or actual incidents, are less favourable during the evening hours. The violent crime rate is recorded at 36.0 per 1,000 residents. While this figure doesn’t inherently indicate a high level of danger, it is a factor to consider alongside the low night safety score.
It's important to interpret these figures with caution. A 'safety score' is often based on a combination of factors including perceived safety, reported crime, and environmental factors. The low night safety score likely reflects a combination of these, potentially including concerns about lighting, visibility, or the presence of security. While the overall crime rate is slightly below the national average, the specific data relating to evening hours warrants extra vigilance. Individuals visiting or residing in Llanrwst should remain aware of their surroundings, particularly after dark, and consider utilising well-lit routes and travelling in groups where possible. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the low night safety score would be beneficial to identify targeted improvements.
