Determining the “highest-risk” areas for burglaries specifically within Whittlesey requires more granular data than is currently available. However, we can assess overall risk based on the provided crime statistics for Whittlesey in Fenland.
Whittlesey, a BUA (Built-Up Area) in Fenland, has a population of 14,211. The overall crime rate in Whittlesey is 80.8 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is slightly below the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that, on average, Whittlesey experiences a slightly lower level of crime compared to the rest of the country. However, focusing solely on the overall crime rate can be misleading; it's crucial to examine specific crime types.
The property crime rate in Whittlesey is 23.4 per 1,000 residents. This figure indicates the frequency of crimes involving theft or damage to property. While not definitively pinpointing specific high-risk areas, a higher property crime rate generally suggests increased opportunities for burglaries. It's important to note that this data doesn’t identify specific streets or neighbourhoods within Whittlesey with elevated burglary risks. Such detailed information would require a more localised breakdown of crime data.
Whittlesey's safety score is 81 out of 100, which is also slightly above the UK average of 79. This suggests a relatively safe environment compared to other areas in the UK. However, it's vital to remember that a safety score is a general indicator and doesn't eliminate the risk of burglary.
Without more granular data, it's impossible to definitively state which areas of Whittlesey are at the highest risk for burglaries. Residents should remain vigilant and take proactive security measures regardless of location. Further investigation using local police data or neighbourhood watch reports might offer more specific insights.
