The question of whether there are specific areas within Ullesthorpe with higher crime rates is a common concern. Based on available data, the BUA (Built-Up Area) of Ullesthorpe in Harborough has a population of 2,584. The overall crime rate for Ullesthorpe is 73.5 incidents per 1,000 residents.

While the overall crime rate is comparatively low, pinpointing specific crime 'hotspots' within Ullesthorpe requires more granular data than is currently available. This type of information would typically be broken down by smaller geographic areas, such as neighbourhoods or streets. The data available only provides an aggregate figure for the entire BUA.
It's important to consider the Safety Score, which for Ullesthorpe is 85 out of 100. This is also above the UK average Safety Score of 79, indicating a generally safer environment. A higher Safety Score suggests residents perceive the area as relatively safe and secure.
It's worth noting that crime statistics can fluctuate, and these figures represent a snapshot in time. While Ullesthorpe demonstrates a lower-than-average crime rate, it doesn’t guarantee complete absence of crime. Residents are always encouraged to be aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the police. Local community policing initiatives and neighbourhood watch schemes can also play a vital role in maintaining safety and security within the BUA.
