The question of how the crime rate in Little Eaton compares to Quarndon is a pertinent one for anyone considering living in or visiting these areas. The data reveals a striking difference. Little Eaton, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) within the Erewash district, has a crime rate of 27.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. In contrast, Quarndon boasts a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 residents. This means that, based on available data, Quarndon experiences virtually no recorded crime.
To provide context, the UK national average crime rate stands at 91.6 per 1,000 people. Therefore, Little Eaton's crime rate, while not zero, is considerably lower than the national average. Quarndon’s rate of 0.0, however, is exceptionally low and significantly below both Little Eaton and the UK average.
Beyond the raw crime rate, Little Eaton also benefits from a high safety score of 93 out of 100. This score, which is substantially higher than the UK average of 79, suggests a perception of safety within the community. It's important to note that safety scores are often based on a combination of factors including crime statistics, resident surveys, and other indicators of community wellbeing.
It’s also useful to consider the crime rates of nearby areas. Breadsall and Morley (Erewash) share Quarndon's remarkably low crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000. Makeney, however, has a crime rate of 33.2 per 1,000, which is higher than Little Eaton’s rate but still below the UK average. These comparisons highlight the variability in crime rates even within a relatively small geographic area.
While the data provides a useful snapshot, it’s crucial to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents and may not capture the full picture of safety and security within a community.
