The question of whether there are specific areas in Stainton (Middlesbrough) where residents should avoid parking overnight due to vehicle crime is a reasonable one, and this FAQ aims to provide a data-driven response. While Stainton doesn't have specific data pinpointing particular streets, understanding the broader crime statistics for the area offers valuable context.
Stainton, a Built-Up Area (BUA) with a population of 1722, currently has a crime rate of 47.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. Furthermore, Stainton’s safety score is 88/100, surpassing the national average of 79. It's important to note, however, that this overall score doesn't automatically guarantee complete safety everywhere within the area.
The violent crime rate in Stainton stands at 20.3 per 1,000 residents. While this is still lower than the national average, it highlights that, like any area, Stainton is not entirely free from incidents. The absence of street-level crime data means we cannot definitively identify 'no-go' parking zones.
Therefore, while Stainton demonstrates a generally positive safety profile compared to the UK average, residents should still exercise caution. Best practices for vehicle security, such as parking in well-lit areas, using vehicle alarms or steering wheel locks, and being aware of surroundings, remain crucial regardless of the area’s overall crime rate. Always report any suspicious activity to the police.
