The question of how Trewoon’s crime rate compares to other nearby villages is a common one, and the data provides a clear picture. Trewoon, a built-up area in Cornwall with a population of 1566, exhibits a crime rate of 37.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000.
When considering the immediate vicinity, the contrast is even more striking. Lanjeth, Polgooth, and Sticker all report a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents. This indicates a remarkably low level of reported crime in these areas. However, the nearby town of St Austell presents a different scenario, with a crime rate of 108.6 per 1,000 residents. This is over three times the rate observed in Trewoon and considerably above the UK average.
Trewoon’s relatively low crime rate is reflected in its impressive safety score of 90 out of 100, surpassing the UK average safety score of 79. This score, alongside the crime rate statistics, suggests that Trewoon is perceived as a safer place to live compared to many other areas in the UK, and particularly compared to St Austell. It’s important to remember that crime rates are based on reported incidents and can be influenced by various factors, including population density, reporting practices, and local law enforcement effectiveness. The data presented here reflects reported incidents within the specified periods and offers a snapshot of the area's safety profile. While the villages of Lanjeth, Polgooth, and Sticker boast a zero crime rate, this may reflect limited reporting or other factors; it is essential to consider these nuances when interpreting crime data.
