The question of how Bolingey’s crime statistics compare to those of Perranporth is a valid one, and the data paints a clear picture. Bolingey, a built-up area in Cornwall with a population of 1465, exhibits a considerably lower crime rate than its neighbour, Perranporth. Bolingey’s crime rate stands at 20.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than Perranporth's rate of 94.0 per 1,000 residents. To put this in context, the UK average crime rate is 91.6 per 1,000.
Therefore, Bolingey’s crime rate is well below the UK average and substantially lower than that of Perranporth. This difference is striking, suggesting a potentially safer environment in Bolingey. The safety score for Bolingey is 94 out of 100, which is also quite high, and comparable to Perranporth’s safety score of 94. It's worth noting that nearby areas like Goonhavern (70.2 per 1,000) and St Agnes (25.5 per 1,000) also have different crime rates, while Trevellas registers a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000.
It's important to remember that crime statistics are just one aspect of community safety. Factors like the perceived level of safety, community engagement, and the effectiveness of local policing also contribute. However, the data clearly indicates that, based solely on reported crime incidents, Bolingey presents a more favourable picture than Perranporth. Further investigation into the types of crimes reported in each area might provide additional context, but the raw numbers highlight a significant disparity.
