The question of how Fleckney's crime rate compares to the national average is one that many residents will want answered, and the data paints a reassuring picture. Fleckney, located in Harborough and officially designated as a Built-Up Area (BUA), boasts a crime rate of 46.8 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than the United Kingdom's national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
To put this into perspective, consider the nearby areas. Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt have a crime rate of 28.7 per 1,000, Great Glen reports 38.9 per 1,000, while Burton Overy and Foxton (Harborough) both demonstrate a remarkably low rate of 0.0 incidents per 1,000. These figures highlight that Fleckney’s crime rate is not just lower than the national average, but also favourable when compared to surrounding communities.
Beyond the raw crime rate figures, Fleckney also benefits from a high safety score of 89 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79, further demonstrating Fleckney’s relative safety. This score likely reflects a combination of factors, including the low crime rate, community engagement, and potentially other local initiatives that contribute to a sense of security.
It’s important to note that crime statistics represent reported incidents and may not capture the full picture of all criminal activity. However, the available data strongly suggests that Fleckney is a relatively safe area to live, significantly safer than many other parts of the UK.
