The question of how the crime rate in Meden Vale compares to Church Warsop is a common one, and the data provides a clear distinction. Meden Vale, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) within Mansfield, has a crime rate of 76.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is higher than that of Church Warsop, which experiences a crime rate of 51.0 per 1,000 residents.
To put these figures into context, the UK average crime rate sits at 91.6 per 1,000 residents. Therefore, both Meden Vale and Church Warsop are, comparatively, safer than the national average. However, the significant difference between the two areas is undeniable. Meden Vale's population is 1611, suggesting a relatively small community where crime incidents, while perhaps not representing violent crime exclusively, are noteworthy. Church Warsop’s smaller crime rate demonstrates a potentially more peaceful environment.
It’s also helpful to consider nearby areas. Market Warsop has a crime rate of 83.1 per 1,000 residents, Langwith 75.7 per 1,000, and Edwinstowe 48.8 per 1,000. This illustrates a range of crime rates within the broader region. Meden Vale's safety score is 81/100, while the UK average is 79/100, suggesting a slightly above-average perception of safety among residents. However, the crime rate data indicates that the perception may not fully align with the statistical reality.
It's important to note that crime rates are complex and influenced by numerous factors, including population density, socioeconomic conditions, and reporting practices. While these statistics offer a snapshot of the situation, they don't paint a complete picture. Further research into the types of crimes reported in each area would provide a more nuanced understanding.
