Determining the exact areas within Redruth most at risk for vehicle crime requires more granular data than is currently available. However, understanding the overall crime statistics for the BUA (Built-Up Area) of Redruth provides valuable context. The crime rate for Redruth is 101.4 incidents per 1,000 residents, exceeding the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests a higher propensity for criminal activity within the area.
Alongside the overall crime rate, Redruth also has a safety score of 76/100, which is below the UK average of 79/100. This lower safety score reinforces the perception of heightened risk. It's important to note that a safety score is a composite measure and doesn’t isolate vehicle crime specifically.
While vehicle crime data isn't broken down by specific neighbourhoods within Redruth, the property crime rate offers further insight. Redruth experiences a property crime rate of 26.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. Vehicle crime often falls under the umbrella of property crime, suggesting that areas experiencing higher rates of general property crime may also be more susceptible to vehicle-related offences.
It's crucial to understand that these statistics represent the entire BUA of Redruth, encompassing a range of areas with varying levels of risk. Without more localised data, it’s impossible to pinpoint precise 'high-risk' zones. However, the higher-than-average crime rate and lower safety score indicate that residents of Redruth should be particularly aware of their surroundings and take preventative measures to protect their vehicles. These measures include ensuring vehicles are locked, alarms are activated where possible, and valuables are not left in plain sight. Reporting any suspicious activity to the police is also vital in helping to deter crime.
