The question of whether specific areas within Troedyrhiw and Pentrebach experience higher rates of criminal damage is a valid concern for residents. While comprehensive data pinpointing problem locations isn’t publicly available at a highly localised level, the overall crime rate for the Built-Up Area (BUA) of Troedyrhiw and Pentrebach in Merthyr Tydfil provides some context.
Based on available data, the BUA of Troedyrhiw and Pentrebach has a population of 2892. The overall crime rate for this area is 101.7 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly higher than the United Kingdom average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This suggests a relatively higher prevalence of crime within the BUA compared to the national picture.
It’s important to note that a crime rate is a broad measure and doesn’t necessarily identify specific hotspots within the area. It encompasses all reported crimes, including criminal damage, theft, violence, and public order offences. The safety score for Troedyrhiw and Pentrebach is 76 out of 100, which is also slightly below the UK average of 79. A lower safety score indicates a perceived lower level of safety among residents.
Without access to more detailed, geographically specific crime data, it’s impossible to definitively state which areas within Troedyrhiw and Pentrebach experience disproportionately higher rates of criminal damage. However, the elevated crime rate and lower safety score do highlight the importance of community vigilance and reporting any suspicious activity to the police. Residents should also consider participating in local neighbourhood watch schemes or community safety initiatives, which can help to deter crime and improve overall safety. Contacting the local police force directly may provide more localised crime information, although access to this data may be restricted.
