The question of how Bolingey’s crime rate compares to the rest of Cornwall is a valid one, and the data paints a reassuring picture. Bolingey, a built-up area in Cornwall with a population of 1465, exhibits a notably lower crime rate than the UK average. The crime rate in Bolingey stands at 20.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably less than the UK average, which sits at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people.
To provide further context, let’s examine nearby areas. Perranporth has a crime rate of 94.0 per 1,000, Goonhavern’s is 70.2 per 1,000, and Trevellas boasts a remarkably low rate of 0.0 per 1,000. St Agnes presents a crime rate of 25.5 per 1,000. These comparisons highlight just how favourably Bolingey's crime statistics stack up within the local area.
Beyond the raw crime rate, Bolingey’s safety score of 94/100 further reinforces its reputation as a safe place. The UK average safety score is 79/100, meaning Bolingey scores significantly higher. This combined data – a low crime rate and a high safety score – suggests a relatively low risk of becoming a victim of crime in Bolingey.
It's important to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents and may not capture the full picture of safety and security. However, based on the available data, Bolingey appears to be a safer area compared to both the broader UK and its immediate neighbours.
