The question of how Friday Bridge’s crime rate compares to Elm and Emneth is a common one, and we’ve analysed the available data to provide a clear comparison. Friday Bridge, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Fenland, has a population of 1506 people. Its crime rate stands at 68.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. To put this in context, the UK national average crime rate is 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people. This indicates that Friday Bridge experiences a lower level of crime compared to the average across the United Kingdom.
While we don't have specific crime rate data for Elm and Emneth, the available safety score offers a comparative perspective. Friday Bridge boasts a safety score of 81 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79 out of 100. A higher safety score generally suggests a perception of greater safety and security among residents. Therefore, based on this safety score, Friday Bridge potentially offers a safer environment than Elm and Emneth, although direct crime rate comparison would require data for those locations.
It's important to remember that crime rate statistics are just one aspect of overall safety. Factors such as community cohesion, policing effectiveness, and the prevalence of social issues can also significantly impact how safe people feel. The crime rate per 1,000 residents provides a standardised measure, allowing for comparisons between areas of different sizes. However, the nature of the crimes committed is also important - a lower number of serious crimes can be preferable to a higher number of minor offences. Further investigation into the types of crimes reported in Friday Bridge would provide a more nuanced understanding of the area's safety profile.
