The question of whether specific areas within Amlwch are considered less safe is a valid concern. Examining the available data for the Amlwch Built-Up Area (BUA) in the Isle of Anglesey provides some insight. The Amlwch BUA has a population of 2458.
Firstly, it's important to consider the overall crime rate. The crime rate for Amlwch is recorded as 87.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly below the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. A lower crime rate suggests, on the whole, Amlwch experiences slightly less crime than the national average.
However, the data also reveals the violent crime rate, which stands at 40.7 incidents per 1,000 people. While this figure isn't dramatically higher than the UK average, it's a significant component of the overall crime rate. It's difficult to pinpoint specific 'less safe' areas within Amlwch based solely on this data. Crime tends to be distributed unevenly within any urban area, and localised factors often influence incidents.
Another useful metric is the safety score, which for Amlwch is 78 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79 out of 100. This indicates that Amlwch is perceived as slightly less safe than the average UK location, although the difference is marginal.
It’s crucial to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents. They don't necessarily reflect the full picture of safety and security within Amlwch. Factors such as community engagement, local policing initiatives, and the overall social fabric of the area all contribute to a sense of safety. This data provides a baseline; further investigation into local community forums or police reports could offer more granular insights into specific concerns within different parts of Amlwch.
