Dyserth, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Denbighshire, presents a crime rate significantly below both the Welsh and UK averages. With a population of 2990, Dyserth’s crime rate currently stands at 70.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This contrasts sharply with the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000.
This lower crime rate contributes to a strong safety score for Dyserth, registering at 81 out of 100, compared to a UK average of 79. A higher safety score indicates a perceived lower risk of crime and a greater sense of security amongst residents.
To provide further context, it’s useful to examine the crime rates of nearby areas. Meliden has a crime rate of 81.8 per 1,000, Prestatyn reports 94.8 per 1,000, Rhuddlan shows 78.5 per 1,000, while Rhyl experiences a considerably higher rate of 199.5 per 1,000. This demonstrates a variance in safety levels across the region.
The difference between Dyserth’s crime rate and the UK average suggests that Dyserth generally experiences fewer reported crimes per resident than the national picture. While crime statistics are valuable indicators, it is important to remember that they represent reported incidents, and may not reflect the full extent of criminal activity. Factors influencing crime rates are complex and can include socioeconomic conditions, population density, and policing strategies. The data provided does not indicate a period of change or specific events that have impacted these rates; it represents a snapshot in time.
