The question of whether specific areas within Sutton St Nicholas experience higher vehicle crime rates requires careful consideration of available data. Sutton St Nicholas, a built-up area (BUA) in Herefordshire, has a population of 1486. Overall, the area's crime rate stands at 16.8 incidents per 1,000 residents, which is considerably higher than the UK national average of 91.6 per 1,000. This indicates a generally elevated level of crime compared to the broader UK landscape.
While the data doesn't pinpoint specific geographical hotspots within Sutton St Nicholas for vehicle crime, the overall higher crime rate suggests that vehicle crime is likely present. The property crime rate is reported as 4.0 per 1,000, offering a point of comparison but not directly addressing vehicle-specific crimes.
Importantly, Sutton St Nicholas boasts a safety score of 94 out of 100, which is significantly above the UK average of 79. This high safety score suggests that despite the elevated overall crime rate, residents generally perceive the area as safe. It’s crucial to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents and don't necessarily reflect the full picture of safety or security.
Without more granular data, such as breakdowns of crime types by specific streets or neighbourhoods within Sutton St Nicholas, it's impossible to definitively identify areas with disproportionately higher vehicle crime rates. However, given the elevated overall crime rate, residents should remain aware and take preventative measures to protect their vehicles.
