The question of how Groeslon's crime rates compare to those of Carmel is straightforward: Groeslon experiences a considerably higher level of reported crime. According to available data, Groeslon, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Gwynedd with a population of 1657, has a crime rate of 45.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. This contrasts sharply with Carmel, which reports a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000.
To put this in perspective, the United Kingdom's average crime rate is 91.6 per 1,000. Therefore, while Groeslon's rate is higher than Carmel's, it's still significantly lower than the UK average. However, the disparity between Groeslon and Carmel is substantial.
It's also worth noting the crime rates of nearby areas. Llandwrog and Rhostryfan also report a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, mirroring Carmel's figures. Penygroes, on the other hand, has a much higher crime rate of 112.5 per 1,000, considerably exceeding both Groeslon and the UK average.
Groeslon's safety score is reported as 90 out of 100, which is notably high compared to the UK average of 79. This suggests that despite the recorded crime rate, residents likely perceive the area as safe. It’s important to remember that crime rates are statistical representations and don't always reflect the day-to-day experiences of residents. Factors such as the types of crimes reported, the effectiveness of local policing, and community engagement all contribute to a feeling of safety.
