Hayle, however, demonstrates a higher rate at 80.2 per 1,000, bringing it closer to the national average. Remarkably, Barripper and Penponds, and The Towans, both report a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents. These variations highlight the localised nature of crime statistics and the importance of considering specific area data rather than relying on broad regional averages.
Beyond the raw crime rate, Connor Downs also benefits from a strong safety score of 82 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79, suggesting Connor Downs is perceived as a safer place to live. This score is a composite measure, likely incorporating factors beyond reported crime, such as perceived safety and community cohesion. The lower crime rate contributes positively to this higher safety score. It's important to remember that crime rates are dynamic and can fluctuate. While the data currently portrays Connor Downs as relatively safe, consistent monitoring of local crime trends is always advisable. The differences in crime rates between Connor Downs and Hayle, alongside the extremely low rates in Barripper and Penponds, and The Towans, demonstrate the variability within Cornwall itself.
