The question of whether there are specific areas within Gravesham with higher crime rates is complex, as detailed localised data isn't publicly available within this dataset. However, we can assess the overall crime picture for the entire Local Authority District (LAD) of Gravesham. The overall crime rate for Gravesham is 97.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly higher than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
It's important to note that a higher crime rate doesn't necessarily indicate dangerous areas; it simply reflects a greater number of reported incidents. Factors such as population density, reporting practices, and the type of crimes committed can all influence these figures. The population of Gravesham LAD is 110,671.
Gravesham's safety score is 78/100, which is a little below the UK average of 79/100. This score is a general indicator of safety and takes into account various factors, but it's crucial to understand it’s a broad measure. Without granular data broken down by smaller geographical areas (like specific neighbourhoods or postcodes), pinpointing precisely which areas have higher crime rates is impossible using this information.
It's recommended to consult local police resources, such as the Kent Police website, for more detailed information about crime trends in specific areas. Community forums and local news sources can also provide valuable insights into neighbourhood safety concerns. Remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents and don't necessarily reflect the full picture of safety and security within Gravesham.
