The question of how Caldicot’s crime rate compares to Rogiet can be answered directly through examining available data. Caldicot, a built-up area in Monmouthshire with a population of 9855, currently has a crime rate of 60.2 incidents per 1,000 residents. In contrast, Rogiet’s crime rate stands at 47.9 per 1,000 residents.
This indicates that Caldicot experiences a notably higher rate of reported crime than Rogiet. To provide further context, the UK national average crime rate is 91.6 per 1,000, meaning both Caldicot and Rogiet have crime rates below the national average. However, the difference between Caldicot and Rogiet’s rates is significant.
Beyond just the raw crime rate, the safety score offers another perspective. Caldicot’s safety score is 82 out of 100, which is above the UK average of 79. Rogiet’s safety score has not been provided. The surrounding areas of Portskewett (35.3 per 1,000) and Caer-went (26.2 per 1,000) demonstrate even lower crime rates, while Sudbrook registers a remarkable 0.0 per 1,000.
It’s important to note that crime rates are simply statistics and don’t necessarily reflect the overall feeling of safety within a community. Factors such as the type of crime reported, the effectiveness of local policing, and community engagement all play a role in perceived safety. While Caldicot's crime rate is higher than Rogiet’s, its safety score suggests a generally secure environment. Further investigation into the specific types of crimes occurring in each area would provide a more complete picture.
