The question of how Llanrug’s crime rates compare to those of Penisa’r Waun and Waunfawr is a valid concern for anyone considering living in or visiting the area. Based on available data, Llanrug, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Gwynedd with a population of 1844, has a crime rate of 51.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the United Kingdom's average crime rate, which stands at 91.6 per 1,000.
Comparing Llanrug to its immediate neighbours, Penisa’r Waun presents a stark contrast. Penisa’r Waun registers a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000, making it significantly safer than Llanrug. This indicates a very low level of reported crime within Penisa’r Waun. Waunfawr, another nearby area, has a crime rate of 49.7 per 1,000, closely mirroring Llanrug’s rate. For context, Bethel has a rate of 31.8 per 1,000 and Clwt-y-bont a rate of 63.1 per 1,000.
It's important to consider the 'Safety Score' alongside the crime rate. Llanrug boasts a safety score of 88 out of 100, which is higher than the UK average of 79. This suggests a generally perceived sense of safety within the community, despite the crime rate being above Penisa’r Waun's. A higher safety score indicates that residents feel relatively safe.
While these figures provide a snapshot, it's crucial to remember that crime rates can fluctuate. This data reflects a specific point in time and doesn’t necessarily predict future trends. Further investigation into the types of crimes reported and the effectiveness of local policing initiatives would offer a more comprehensive understanding of safety in Llanrug and its surrounding areas.
