The question of how Wrea Green’s crime rate compares to the national average is a pertinent one for prospective residents and those simply curious about local safety. Our data, based on reported crime figures, indicates that Wrea Green, a Built-Up Area (BUA) within Fylde, exhibits a considerably lower crime rate than the UK average.
Specifically, Wrea Green’s crime rate stands at 45.3 incidents per 1,000 people. This contrasts sharply with the national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people. This demonstrates a significant difference, suggesting a demonstrably safer environment than many other parts of the country. The population of Wrea Green is recorded as 1899, providing context to the reported crime figures.
To further illustrate this difference, it’s useful to consider the crime rates of nearby areas. Ribby reports a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, Wesham’s rate is 66.7 per 1,000, Kirkham’s is 94.8 per 1,000, and Warton (Fylde) reports 84.3 per 1,000. This comparison underscores Wrea Green's relative safety within the local area.
Beyond the raw crime rate figures, Wrea Green also benefits from a high safety score of 90 out of 100. This score, compared to the UK average of 79, further reinforces the perception of Wrea Green as a safe place to live. The safety score is a composite metric, likely incorporating factors beyond just reported crime incidents, such as perceptions of safety and the presence of protective factors within the community. While crime rates are a useful indicator, they are only one facet of overall safety and wellbeing.
It’s important to remember that these are statistical averages and individual experiences can vary. However, based on available data, Wrea Green appears to be a considerably safer location than both the national average and several of its neighbouring areas.
