It’s important to note that crime rates are complex and can be influenced by a variety of factors, including population density, socioeconomic conditions, and reporting practices. While these numbers provide a useful comparison, they represent a snapshot in time and should be interpreted with caution.
Comparing these locations to others nearby, Little Staughton and Upper Dean also demonstrate remarkably low crime rates (0.0 per 1,000), underscoring the generally safe nature of the Huntingdonshire area. Further investigation into the specific types of crimes recorded in each location would provide a more nuanced understanding of the differences observed.
