Determining precisely which areas within Fowey are most at risk of burglary is difficult without more granular data. The data available refers to the entire BUA (Built-up Area) of Fowey in Cornwall, encompassing the entire town and surrounding developed areas. Considering the data available, we can assess the overall risk and compare it to the national picture.
The overall crime rate for Fowey is 57.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. However, it's important to note that this figure represents all types of crime, not just burglary. The property crime rate, a more direct indicator of burglary risk, is 19.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. Again, this is lower than the UK average, suggesting a relatively safer environment for property.
Fowey’s safety score is 86 out of 100, which is also above the UK average of 79. This indicates a perception of greater safety among residents. While the statistics suggest Fowey is generally safer than many areas of the UK, it’s important to remember that crime can occur anywhere.
It’s crucial to interpret these figures within the context of Fowey’s population of 2781. Smaller populations can mean that even a small number of incidents can significantly impact the crime rate per 1,000 residents. Without further breakdown of the data by specific neighbourhoods within Fowey, it's impossible to pinpoint areas at higher risk. Therefore, all residents should maintain vigilance and implement appropriate security measures, regardless of perceived risk levels.
