The question of how Bradwell’s crime rate compares to areas like Hope (High Peak) is a valid concern for anyone considering living in or visiting Derbyshire. Bradwell, a built-up area (BUA) within the Derbyshire Dales, exhibits a crime rate of 42.1 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
When directly compared to nearby areas, the contrast is even more apparent. Hope, also located within the High Peak district, has a crime rate of 58.9 per 1,000 residents. Bamford, another neighbouring area, reports a crime rate of 50.3 per 1,000 residents. Castleton, however, presents a starkly different picture with a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents. Tideswell demonstrates a lower crime rate than Bradwell, registering at 32.8 incidents per 1,000.
Beyond the raw crime rate, Bradwell also scores well in terms of safety, boasting a safety score of 91 out of 100, which is considerably higher than the UK average of 79. These figures provide a general indication of safety levels, but it’s important to remember they are based on reported crimes. Factors such as the size and demographics of an area can also influence these statistics. A smaller population, as is the case with Bradwell (1782 residents), can sometimes skew crime rates, making even a small number of incidents appear proportionally higher.
It’s also crucial to understand that crime rates are constantly fluctuating and can be impacted by various factors. While Bradwell’s data suggests a comparatively safe environment, continued vigilance and community engagement are always recommended. These figures provide a snapshot in time and should be considered alongside other factors when assessing the overall safety and desirability of a location.
