It's important to note that the population of Coates and Eastrea is 2789, which is a relatively small community. Smaller communities often benefit from a stronger sense of community and increased vigilance amongst residents. However, these figures represent data from a specific period and should be considered within that context. While the statistics are positive, it is vital that residents remain aware of their surroundings and report any concerns to the appropriate authorities. Continued community engagement and proactive measures are essential for maintaining the area’s positive safety record. The data highlights that Coates and Eastrea is currently an outlier compared to the national average in terms of perceived and actual safety.
