The risk of violent crime in Lympne, a built-up area within Folkestone and Hythe, is comparatively low. Data indicates a crime rate of 24.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably less than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This suggests that Lympne is a relatively safer location when considering the prevalence of violent crime.
To put this into perspective, a population of 1892 people residing in Lympne would, statistically, experience a lower incidence of violent crime than areas with similar populations across the UK. While the data doesn't specify the types of violent crime recorded, the overall low crime rate provides reassurance. The safety score for Lympne is 93 out of 100, further reinforcing its position as a safer area, again in comparison to the UK average safety score of 79.
It’s important to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents and don't account for unreported crimes. While Lympne’s statistics are encouraging, maintaining vigilance and reporting any suspicious activity to the police remains crucial for community safety. It's also worth noting that 'violent crime' encompasses a broad range of offences, and understanding the specific types of crimes occurring in Lympne would require more granular data, which isn’t provided. However, the presented data provides a clear indication of a lower risk profile compared to the broader UK landscape.
