Determining the 'safest' neighborhoods in Eastbourne is complex, as safety is subjective. However, we can assess areas based on available crime data for the Eastbourne LAD (Local Authority District). The overall crime rate for Eastbourne is 131.4 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is higher than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. The safety score for Eastbourne is 72/100, again falling below the UK average of 79.
It's important to note that the data doesn't pinpoint specific neighborhood-level safety. The reported violent crime rate is 44.7 per 1,000 residents, suggesting a need for vigilance. Unfortunately, granular data breaking down crime rates by specific Eastbourne neighborhoods is not publicly available. Therefore, it’s impossible to definitively declare certain areas as 'safest'.
When assessing safety, consider these factors alongside crime statistics: community engagement, street lighting, and the presence of local support services. Local community groups and forums can often provide insights into perceived safety and any recent incidents. While we don’t have specific neighborhood data, understanding the broader Eastbourne statistics can inform your decisions.
It's crucial to remember that crime rates are constantly fluctuating and can be influenced by various factors. Always stay informed about local news and advisories. The statistics provided offer a snapshot of the situation as of the available data, and individual experiences may vary considerably.
