However, property crime remains a consideration. The property crime rate in Ely stands at 20.4 per 1,000 residents. While this figure isn’t drastically higher than in some areas, it's important to be aware of the risk. It's important to note that the data does not specify which areas within Ely have a higher incidence of burglary. Factors contributing to property crime can be varied and are not reflected in this overview – such as proximity to transport links, building density, and local economic conditions.
It's crucial to remember that crime statistics represent past trends and do not guarantee future occurrences. Staying informed and taking preventative measures remains vital for all residents. The Cambridgeshire Constabulary provides resources and advice on home security, and local neighbourhood watch schemes can also contribute to community safety.
